245 Lily St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 20-unit apartment building at 245 Lily Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Basil & Susanne Mufarreh, has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably the completion of a $20,000 reroofing project in March 2023 and the addition of three new ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in 2020-2021, which included comprehensive plumbing upgrades, fire sprinkler installation, and radiant heat system improvements. The building has completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting under Tier 2 requirements.

Recent building violations from August 2023 relate to fire escape maintenance, compliance affidavits, and possibly ongoing building code requirements, which appear to be the most pressing current concerns. The property has a mixed maintenance history, with several significant improvements made in recent years, including a $14,000 fire sprinkler system installation in 2020 and extensive plumbing work including a main sewer line installation and copper repiping of all 20 units.

However, there have been notable issues with construction noise and compliance during the 2020 shelter-in-place period, as evidenced by multiple complaints in April-July 2020, and there are ongoing concerns about garbage and debris management near the property, with multiple 311 calls regarding waste matters in late 2024. Historical records from 2002 show past violations related to security, fire safety, and interior maintenance, though these were resolved by 2009. The building has experienced three documented fire-related incidents, including a gas leak and two false alarms, but no civilian injuries have been reported in these incidents.
