464-468 Bartlett St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, seven-unit apartment building at 464-468 Bartlett Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Suzanne Tate Tr, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1912. Most notably, in May 2019, the building suffered substantial damage from a kitchen fire that rendered one unit uninhabitable and caused damage to walls, ceilings, and the roof, which required extensive repairs costing $75,000. The fire incident triggered various repair work including new roof installation, replacement of damaged kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and upgrades to electrical and plumbing systems.

Prior to the fire, the building had notable overcrowding concerns, with a 2017 complaint reporting 11 people living in one apartment and blocked hallways creating potential fire hazards. The building has undergone several major renovations over the years, including foundation work in 2002, a comprehensive renovation in 2003 involving framing repairs, window replacement, and staircase modifications, and reroofing work in 2005. The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, particularly in the early 2000s, with multiple housing inspection complaints regarding fire safety equipment, stair repairs, and security violations - though these were ultimately abated in 2004.

Recent years have seen recurring issues with graffiti and sanitation concerns in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal. The building's maintenance history shows regular efforts to address infrastructure needs, with various sidewalk and street space permits issued, including recent permits in 2019. While the building has faced challenges in the past, particularly related to fire safety and overcrowding, recent major repairs and improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the current ownership.
