2230 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2230 Steiner Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1923 and currently owned by the Morris Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a required soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017 (Cost: $100,000) as part of San Francisco's wood-frame seismic retrofit program, demonstrating compliance with important safety standards. Recent maintenance work includes a $45,000 re-roofing project completed in March 2024, though this follows a pattern of roofing issues, with a previous roofing permit from 1991 having expired.

The building has experienced several concerning incidents affecting resident health and safety. In August 2021, the property faced multiple building violations related to improper paint removal work, including failure to provide proper containment systems and protection for residents, though these were abated by December 2021. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a reported mold issue linked to roof leaks and moisture infiltration, which was reportedly resolved by May 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure improvements, including window retrofitting in 2011 (Cost: $67,577) and electrical upgrades in 2018, though some systems have required repeated attention, as evidenced by multiple fire alarm system violations between 2018 and 2021, which were typically addressed promptly. The property's historical records also show periodic housing inspections, with documented issues in 1994 regarding peeling paint in hallways. While the building has had numerous parking-related complaints in recent years, these are primarily external issues not directly related to building conditions or management.
