414-418 Bryant St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 3-story multi-family residential building at 414-418 Bryant Street, constructed in 1907 and now owned by 412 Bryant St LLC, has experienced significant recent maintenance challenges, particularly in the past year. Most notably, between November 2023 and January 2024, there were multiple serious plumbing issues including sewage backups in the basement, standing sewage in exterior areas, and violations related to drainage, sanitation, and fire safety that were subsequently addressed. The building underwent several substantial improvements in 2018, including bathroom renovations, closet modifications, and electrical updates, though some work was cancelled, including a re-wiring project for laundry facilities and bathrooms.

Earlier maintenance history shows consistent upkeep, with a complete roof replacement in 2016, bathroom and closet renovations in 2018, and various historical repairs to stairs, siding, and street space permits since 2003. The property has faced some structural and safety concerns over its history, including a 2019 complaint regarding unauthorized conversion to communal living, which was later resolved, and various building violations in 2003 related to gas utility requirements and stair repairs. Recent inspections in 2023 revealed multiple safety code violations including fire safety concerns, smoke alarm issues, and stair repairs that were subsequently corrected.

The building's fire safety history shows several alarm activations and smoke detector tests, although none resulted in actual fires or injuries. Recent inspections have also noted issues with drainage, sanitation, and structural maintenance compliance, all of which have been addressed. The most recent tenant buyout occurred in 2018, affecting 2 tenants with a payment of $138,000. Outside the building itself, there have been recurring issues with sidewalk conditions, garbage, and debris on the surrounding streets, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025.
