24-26 Himmelmann Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 24-26 Himmelmann Place in Nob Hill, owned by Carlos Abela, has a complex history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints about roof leaks and interior water damage between 2003 and 2015, including significant mold problems identified in 2014 that reportedly affected tenants' health. The building underwent a bathroom addition in 2012, followed by several maintenance and compliance-related repairs, including reroofing work in 2015 to address a violation from late 2014.

A significant cluster of building violations was documented in 2003, covering various safety and maintenance issues such as peeling paint, plumbing problems, and inadequate heating, though all were abated by April 2003. The property has faced several challenges related to unauthorized modifications and safety concerns over the years. Multiple complaints about unpermitted construction work were filed between 2007 and 2009, including concerns about an unpermitted roof deck structure and unauthorized remodeling of units.

Safety issues were highlighted in complaints about the front stairs' condition in 2007, and more recent concerns about electrical wiring and back stairway lighting were documented in 2015. The building's systems have seen some upgrades, including the installation of wall heaters in 2003 and various electrical improvements, though some electrical work from 2003 remains marked as expired in the records. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues like graffiti and debris, indicating ongoing attention to building upkeep, albeit not directly related to structural or habitability concerns. While the building has a history of addressing violations and completing various permits, the pattern of water-related issues, unauthorized modifications, and safety concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges have persisted over the years.
