44 Cervantes Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123

44 Cervantes Boulevard is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by E & B Schlesinger Family LP. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, including a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 (cost: $180,000) to improve seismic safety. Between 2018 and 2022, multiple unit renovations were completed, focusing on kitchen and bathroom upgrades in various units (notably units 101, 203, and 304), with improvements including new fixtures, cabinets, electrical systems, and plumbing.

The building's facade received attention in 2022-2023 with stucco work performed on the front section, and a historical window replacement project was completed in 2018 to maintain architectural integrity. Recent concerns include a currently open violation as of December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, though this is not the building's first such issue, as sleeping area violations were previously noted in 2023. The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system violations, with the most recent occurring in 2022 and 2019, though these were promptly corrected.

Historical violations from 2006 (now inactive) included issues with the fire alarm system, fire escape ladder, and combustible storage, which were addressed. The property has a documented history of various maintenance and operational issues typical of older buildings, including occasional reports of rodent/insect infestation (2016), noise complaints (2015), and more recent exterior maintenance matters. Recent sanitation concerns in the vicinity, as evidenced by 311 calls in 2023, were primarily street-level issues rather than building-specific problems.
