2132 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94115

2132 Pine Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by LG & PK Scott 2013 Trust. The property has experienced ongoing structural concerns, most notably regarding a retaining wall that has been a recurring issue since at least 2006 when an unsafe condition was identified at the east property line.

Despite being abated by 2010, similar concerns resurfaced, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2022 describing the building as having substandard cribbing, being derelict, and leaning toward the street. The retaining wall situation has resulted in multiple permit applications and revisions from 2015 through 2024, including an active permit as of February 2024 for replacing the rear yard retaining wall. The building has also faced significant construction-related challenges, particularly in 2017-2018, when there were complaints about construction scaffolding appearing unstable and inactive for over a year, with concerns about a potentially hazardous debris slide affecting public areas.

The property underwent some electrical work in 2015 (Ufer ground) and has had several street space permits issued in 2017. Multiple street cleaning incidents have been documented through 311 calls, particularly in early 2020 when there were several reports of overflowing city garbage cans, as well as some hazardous material incidents involving liquids and glass in 2021 and 2019, respectively. While the planning records indicate proper procedures were followed for retaining wall replacement, including notifications of non-buildable area requirements under section 136 of the planning code, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with structural elements that have required repeated attention over the years.
