21 Alta St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 21 Alta Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by John P. Early Declaration Of, was constructed in 1977 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most recently, in October 2023, the building had electrical work completed to relocate conduit and remove a junction box for PG&E meter relocation.

A notable cluster of building violations was documented in March 2021 regarding safety and maintenance issues, including malfunctioning windows, fire escape ladder maintenance, and window safety constraints, which were all abated by May 2021. The building underwent substantial work in 2002, including exterior renovations, roofing, fireplace replacements, and bathroom remodeling, with several permits from this period showing both completed and expired status. The property's maintenance history shows attention to various structural elements, including termite repair in 1989 and multiple routine housing inspections through the years.

In 2021, there was a tenant buyout of $66,000 involving one tenant, and several planning records indicate proposed improvements to the building's exterior materials, including replacing non-original shingle siding and aluminum windows, though some related permits from 2002 are marked as expired. Recent 311 calls (through late 2024) have primarily concerned issues with blocked sidewalks, though these are related to scooter parking and not directly connected to building management. The building's documented history spans several decades, showing regular maintenance and periodic updates, with the most recent major work focusing on safety compliance and electrical system updates.
