1109-1111 Elm St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1109-1111 Elm Street, a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood, has a documented history spanning several decades, with its most significant event being a major fire incident in December 2011 that resulted in extensive structural damage throughout the building.

The 2012 repair work, completed at a cost of $350,000, addressed the fire damage and included substantial reconstruction of roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms, and full system upgrades for plumbing and electrical, including a 200-amp service upgrade and new forced-air heating systems. More recently, the building has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance issues, with the most immediate concerns being related to waste management, as evidenced by multiple complaints in August and September 2023 regarding persistent trash can placement and associated sanitation issues.

Additionally, there are recurring fire safety concerns, with documented violations and complaints regarding fire alarm systems and safety equipment between 2019 and 2024, though many of these issues were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated". The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including a foundation upgrade in 2006, kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2007, and several routine safety inspections, though it has faced multiple fire code violations and maintenance challenges that suggest ongoing attention to building systems is required.
