252-254 Ritch St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 252-254 Ritch St is a 2-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Ritch Street LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a kitchen remodel in late 2015 costing $20,000, a roof replacement in November 2015, and various electrical upgrades in early 2016.

More recently, a gas houseline extension was completed in September 2023, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to essential systems, including the replacement of a defective heating boiler in December 2015 and sewer lateral repairs in February 2016. However, the property has experienced some challenges, particularly regarding fire safety systems; violations were noted in 2019 and 2020 related to alarm systems, though no injuries were reported in subsequent false alarm incidents.

Between December 2024 and January 2025, multiple service requests were generated regarding garbage and debris on the property, and there were some issues with sidewalk parking violations, though these were handled by enforcement agencies. Additionally, there appears to be a history of unauthorized use as commercial space in 2010, though this was later abated. While there were multiple fire code violations recorded in July 2020 at the address 444-448 Brannan St (which may be an administrative error or unrelated property), these were subsequently abated.
