3465 25th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 21-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3465 25th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Brickendown LLC, has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements since 2016. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic strengthening as a Tier 2 soft-story building and added six new ADUs (including 2 studios, 3 one-bedrooms, and 1 two-bedroom unit) on the first floor in late 2016.

Recent important upgrades include the installation of a complete sprinkler system throughout the ground floor in 2020-2021 ($35,000), followed by a $25,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 to meet current safety codes, including the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and comprehensive monitoring capabilities. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues, most concerning being a significant plumbing leak reported in December 2022 that affected Unit 102, along with past violations related to fire escape clearance, which was addressed after a truck incident in 2019.

Multiple fire safety complaints and violations have been recorded between 2016-2023, with the most recent being for sleeping area requirements in November 2023, though previous issues with alarms and extinguishers were generally corrected promptly. The building has a history of maintenance compliance challenges, as evidenced by several building violations from 2016-2017 regarding general dilapidation, electrical systems, lead paint hazards, and more, though these were ultimately abated by January 2023. The property underwent foundation repairs in 1992 and re-roofing work in 1989, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining the building's structural integrity over time.
