2119-2123 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2119-2123 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by John A Lesca Asset Protecti, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects over the years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building received a $18,990 torch-down reroofing. The property has a documented history of stair-related issues, with multiple repairs to address dry rot in the rear stairs, including a 2020 violation requiring repair work to comply with building codes.

This escalated to a series of complaints in October 2020 regarding unpermitted work and materials encroaching onto a neighboring property, which was ultimately addressed by January 2021. The building's maintenance record shows attention to upkeep, with earlier repairs including a 2005 project addressing dry rot in the rear stairs, a kitchen remodel in 1994, and vinyl siding installation in 1986. The property experienced some safety-related violations in 2006, including issues with fire extinguishers and a wooden step repair requirement, though these were promptly resolved within approximately one month.

A concerning incident occurred in 2001 when there was a report of no heat in the building affecting elderly tenants, though this was resolved within two weeks. More recently, in 2024, there have been multiple reports of street-level maintenance issues near the property, including garbage and debris concerns, though these appear to be external to the building itself. The most recent open issue as of October 2023 is a non-offensive graffiti complaint on the building. The property's historical permit and violation records suggest ongoing maintenance attention, particularly to structural elements like stairs, though there have been instances of work being conducted without proper permits, requiring subsequent remediation.
