2525 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 2525 Steiner Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone numerous significant maintenance and repair projects over the past several decades. Most recently, in 2020, the building required emergency stem wall replacement and dry rot repairs in the basement storage/laundry area, along with comprehensive plumbing and electrical work in that space. The property has experienced persistent fire safety concerns, with two fire escape violations recorded in May 2023, following earlier alarm system issues in 2017 and 2018, including a system replacement project.

A notable complaint was filed in November 2020 regarding work allegedly exceeding permit scope and concerns about excavation and foundation work, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including a 2004 partial foundation replacement and various interior improvements such as window installations, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and garage work in the mid-2000s. The property has experienced multiple violations and complaints over its history, particularly regarding safety systems and basic maintenance issues.

In 2000, there were serious concerns about plumbing, electrical, and bathroom ventilation systems, though these were addressed within a month. Earlier fire escape violations were recorded in 2008, and there have been several instances of building-related emergencies requiring fire department response, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent activity (August-October 2024) suggests ongoing issues with parking violations and waste management in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. The current condition of the building appears to be maintained at an acceptable level, with most recent violations being addressed promptly, though the frequency of repairs and improvements suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
