237 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 23-unit, 4-story apartment building at 237 Leavenworth Street, constructed in 1922 and owned by Meabd LLC, has undergone various maintenance and monitoring issues over recent years. Most concerning are two active fire violations from May 2024 related to sleeping area requirements and missing standpipe caps, with the standpipe issue referred to hearing. In terms of heating systems, the building has experienced multiple boiler-related issues, with the boiler decommissioned in July 2020 following a violation for operating without a permit.

Recent complaints include an active sink issue from December 2021, and a history of plumbing problems including a 2021 kitchen sink leak that caused mold. The building has faced several historical maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, including heating failures (2003), water issues (2001, 1999), and multiple housing code violations in 2016 requiring attention to safety systems. Recent 311 calls in 2023 suggest ongoing issues with street cleaning and waste management around the property, though these exterior matters are separate from building maintenance concerns.

The building has a documented history of various repairs and maintenance work, including roofing work (1998), tile repairs (1999), and interior modifications (2001). A comprehensive inspection in 2016 revealed multiple issues requiring attention, including security concerns with doors, fire escape maintenance, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors. While many past complaints have been resolved, the active fire violations from 2024 represent the most significant current safety concerns. The property's infrastructure has shown evidence of regular maintenance work, such as the 2020 decommissioning of the backflow preventer, though historically there have been periods of inadequate heating system maintenance that have impacted resident comfort.
