1712-1722 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1712-1722 Steiner Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by El Stanford Investment LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance and maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, there were substantial renovation complaints in early 2019 regarding extensive work including floor removal, plumbing fixture removal, and gutted interiors, though some permits were issued for kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2018 totaling $90,000.

The building has a problematic history with stair safety, including a 2002 violation regarding unpermitted stair repairs and improper guardrails, and multiple housing inspection complaints from 2016-2017 citing concerns with dry rot, termite damage, electrical issues, and a back staircase not meeting code requirements. The property has also faced several safety and compliance issues, including a 2014 violation related to the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program for earthquake safety. A routine inspection in 2001 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including security requirements, sanitation issues, and fire safety concerns, though these were eventually abated in 2017.

Recent maintenance work has included various window replacements and bathroom refurbishments, with the most substantial work occurring in 2018-2019. The building underwent tenant buyouts in 2017 with one unit receiving $82,500 for four tenants and another $10,203.48 for two tenants, suggesting significant occupancy turnover during that period. Recent activity at the property has primarily been limited to external maintenance issues, as evidenced by 311 calls in 2023-2024 relating to garbage, graffiti, and street cleaning, with a notable recent complaint regarding abandoned furniture in September 2024.
