115 Wetmore St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-story, 5-unit apartment building at 115 Wetmore Street in Nob Hill, owned by Woon Benson & Yueh Hui, has a documented history spanning several decades since its construction in 1906. Most concerning is a pattern of recent moisture-related issues, with multiple violations and complaints in 2023 (specifically in February) regarding mold/mildew on ceilings and water damage, which were officially abated by April 2023. These same issues had previously been documented in 2017, suggesting a recurring problem with water management and interior maintenance.

The building has undergone several improvements over the years, including two major window installation projects: 21 vinyl windows in 2002 ($12,000) and individual vinyl windows in 2000 (two separate permits totaling $860), as well as aluminum window installation in 1988. There were also important safety improvements in 1986 when the building was brought into code compliance. The property has been subject to regular housing inspections, with records showing routine inspections in 2017, 2016, and earlier years, indicating ongoing oversight by housing authorities.

Several building violations were recorded in September 2000, including issues with fire proofing and smoke enclosure door closers, though these were notated as "Not active" with an April 2023 abatement date, suggesting they were eventually addressed. Recent external maintenance issues in the vicinity have been documented through 311 calls, including concerns about garbage collection (December 2023) and various street cleaning matters, though these are more related to public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues. The building's permit history and inspection records overall indicate a structure that has received periodic maintenance and upgrades, though recent water-related challenges suggest ongoing attention to moisture management systems may be needed.
