2231-2235 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2231-2235 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ramzi & Suzane Bader, has undergone significant recent changes and faced several serious maintenance issues. Most notably, there are ongoing efforts to add additional units to the property, with permits filed in 2023 and 2022 to create new living spaces on the first floor, though these modifications have been preceded by multiple notices of violation. The building has a history of significant deferred maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in 2021-2022, when multiple violations were documented regarding general dilapidation, water damage, window repairs, floor covering issues, and hazardous conditions.

Residents reported serious safety concerns during this period, including electrical hazards, gas line issues, and potential lead paint exposure, which generated multiple complaints to housing inspection services. Recent inspections in 2024 have revealed continuing concerns about water damage, heating issues, and window functionality. The property has a documented history of plumbing and electrical work, including multiple bathroom remodels, staircase repairs, and heater replacements, most recently involving a gas heater replacement in April 2024.

Several major repair projects were completed between 2020-2022 to address various building code violations and maintenance issues, including stair repairs, window repairs, and plumbing fixes. The building experienced a fire incident in December 2020, which prompted additional repairs and inspections. Recent planning records indicate attempts to modify the building's density configuration, with proposals to convert the property from three to five units, though some applications have been withdrawn or placed on hold. The property has also been subject to various city service calls, including sidewalk maintenance and tree-related issues, with most cases being resolved appropriately.
