The 3-story multi-family residential building at 453-457 Potrero Avenue in Potrero Hill, owned by Bryan Boot, consists of 3 units and was constructed in 1900. The property underwent significant improvements between 2014-2015, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system with sprinklers, monitoring equipment, and heat detectors, along with various plumbing upgrades including gas line reconnections and furnace installations.

Multiple building safety improvements were made during this period, including sidewalk repairs and electrical upgrades, though several construction-related complaints were filed between 2014-2015 regarding noise, debris management, and safety concerns during the installation of new units and systems. Historical violations from 2008-2012 were resolved, including issues related to unauthorized construction and foundation concerns at the rear of the building. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti (most recently in 2023) and a sewage backup incident in 2022.

Two minor fire-related incidents were recorded, one involving a contained cooking fire and another EMS response, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent planning records show the property's development history includes the addition of residential units and modifications to the garage structure, with appropriate permits and notifications being obtained for these improvements. The building's systems have been notably modernized over the past decade, particularly regarding fire safety and electrical infrastructure, though some maintenance and compliance issues have persisted.
