2211 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 2-story, 3-unit apartment building at 2211 Van Ness Ave in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone significant changes and faced numerous regulatory challenges over the past two decades. Recent records from 2023-2024 show several concerning fire safety issues, including problems with the alarm system, blocked exits, and concerns about extinguishers, though most have been marked as "Condition Corrected." The building has been the subject of multiple violations related to unauthorized conversions and modifications, particularly during 2006-2012, when inspections documented unauthorized unit conversions, plumbing work, and electrical installations.

A notable incident in 2012 involved unpermitted roofing work that reportedly exposed occupants to debris and was associated with health issues. The building has also faced fire safety concerns, with 2023 violations for street numbering and alarm system maintenance, and historical complaints about blocked exits and extinguisher maintenance.

Plumbing and roofing issues were addressed through several permits in the late 2000s, including repairs to fix water damage in 2009 costing $38,000. The property is currently owned by 2211 Van Ness Ave LLC and has undergone various proposed changes, including attempts to convert it into group housing with student housing characteristics, though some applications are listed as "Withdrawn" or "On Hold" in planning records. Recent municipal service calls in 2024 have included reports of graffiti, sidewalk issues, and a sewage back-up, though some were marked as "No Work Needed" upon inspection.
