2951-2955 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134
The 9-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2951-2955 San Bruno Avenue, built in 1957, has undergone significant recent renovations including the conversion of ground floor retail and parking spaces into four accessory dwelling units (ADUs), completed in 2024. This project, which began in 2019, involved comprehensive updates to the building's safety systems, including a new fire alarm system upgrade (completed 2024) and the installation of sprinklers throughout the ground floor (completed 2024). The property is currently facing several concerning issues, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints in 2023-2024 regarding common area maintenance, emergency lighting problems, and waste management concerns. There are active complaints about unauthorized unit modifications in Units 5 and 7, with allegations of illegal bedroom conversions.
The building has a history of fire safety violations dating back to 2019-2024, though most have been corrected. Approximately 250,000 dollars worth of work has been invested in recent improvements, including seismic retrofitting (completed 2018) and the installation of four new mini-split heat pump systems (2024). The property has shown a pattern of maintenance and communication issues, particularly during recent construction work, and currently has several unresolved tenant concerns regarding building safety and unit modifications. The building has a tier 4 soft story designation, indicating completed seismic retrofitting, and has undergone numerous compliance upgrades to meet current building codes.
Recent improvements include the addition of individual meters for the new ADUs (completed 2024) and various unit-specific updates such as kitchen and bathroom renovations in the new ADUs. While the majority of recent construction work has received proper permits, there are concerns about communication and maintenance during the most recent renovation period, as well as ongoing issues with common area maintenance and waste management that have resulted in multiple tenant complaints and 311 calls about garbage and debris. Historical records from 2001 show multiple fire safety and emergency maintenance violations that were subsequently corrected, primarily related to fire escape maintenance, fire alarm systems, and smoke detection systems. The property owner, 2951 San Bruno LLC, has completed several major upgrading projects during their ownership, including mandatory seismic retrofitting and comprehensive safety system upgrades. Recent construction activity has generated multiple tenant complaints about work site maintenance and communication regarding unit modifications, though many of these issues were quickly addressed through proper channels.
