2049-2053 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The four-unit, three-story apartment building at 2049-2053 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by Mischeaux Flynn, was constructed in 1918 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, in 2016, the building addressed structural termite issues by replacing stucco at a cost of $16,000, and in 2015, multiple permits were obtained to document and correct the legal use and occupancy of the building, confirming its four residential unit configuration.

The property has experienced recurring concerns with water damage and structural issues, particularly between 2019 and 2024, with complaints filed regarding improper concrete installation without adequate waterproofing and walkway-related water damage to neighboring properties. More recent issues include a 2023 complaint about waterproofing problems and a 2024 complaint regarding stairs potentially not meeting code requirements. The building has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including substantial electrical work between 2003 and 2008 involving rewiring, circuit installations, and appliance connections.

Plumbing improvements were made in 2008 with a kitchen remodel that included modern appliances and a tankless water heater. Recent service records from October 2023 show attention to sewer system issues, while various 311 calls throughout 2023-2024 have addressed typical urban maintenance matters such as illegal parking, street cleaning, and graffiti. The building's permit and violation history reveals some regulatory interactions, including a 2020 resolution of building violations related to walkway repairs and permit requirements, though there were also instances of unauthorized vacation rentals that have since been abated.
