52 Darrell Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

52 Darrell Place is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Mehan Properties LLC. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past two decades, with the most critical being an active plumbing violation related to a broken or defective sewer system reported in February 2000 that remains unresolved.

In May 2017, multiple complaints were filed regarding an allegedly unsafe and unpermitted illegal unit in the building, with residents expressing concerns about fire hazards, lack of soundproofing, and inadequate safety systems. These complaints were documented across several reports in March-May 2017, with one specifically mentioning mold and a leaking ceiling. The building has a history of safety and maintenance concerns, particularly highlighted during a routine inspection in October 2005 that resulted in multiple violations requiring attention to various safety systems, including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and emergency exits.

Three separate reroofing permits were issued in November 1997, though records indicate these permits are now expired. While some historical issues have been resolved (including fire safety violations noted in the 2005 inspection and noise complaints), the building's record is marked by recurring concerns about maintenance and safety systems, including a noise complaint filed in May 2017 regarding excessive noise. The presence of an active sewer system violation and historical issues with fire safety equipment, emergency exits, and roof maintenance suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though some specific violations from past years have been marked as resolved or not active.
