906 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 906 Steiner Street, a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The property underwent multiple repair projects in 2018, including rot damage repairs to the rear staircase ($10,000) and extensive work on leaks, rot, and exterior painting ($20,000).

During this period, there were several concerning complaints about unauthorized work and construction practices, including three separate complaints in January-February 2018 regarding unauthorized roof and patio demolition, structural problems, and potentially fraudulent contracting practices, though these complaints were ultimately marked as not active. The building has a documented history of water damage issues, with multiple violations in early 2017 related to damaged ceilings and walls, water damage sources, and lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by April 2017. More recently, in 2024, there have been multiple reports of debris and garbage issues near the property, along with a sewage backup incident in August 2024.

The property has also faced ongoing infrastructure challenges, with multiple sewer-related complaints in 2021 and concerns about tree root damage to the sidewalk recorded in July 2021. Two fire safety complaints regarding blocked exits were filed in 2017 and 2018, with one marked as corrected, though this raises safety concerns. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to addressing both structural and environmental issues, but the frequency and variety of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
