230-236 Lily St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 16-unit apartment building at 230-236 Lily Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Survivors Trust, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over its history. The building has seen consistent improvements over the past decade, with multiple unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, most recently completed in Unit B in 2022 at a cost of $35,000. Major building-wide improvements include a new roof installation in 2019 ($19,300) and significant electrical upgrades in 2012-2013 involving meter relocations and service upgrades for multiple units.

The property faced serious issues in 2007 when a fire caused damage that required reconstruction, leading to several violations that were ultimately abated by 2008. In 2018, there was a concerning cluster of fire safety complaints regarding fire escape, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, though most were found to have "No Merit" or were corrected. Recent issues include an active complaint from August 2023 regarding common areas, and a 2021 investigation into an allegedly illegal unit that raised concerns about accessibility and safety features.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, including problems with construction permits in 2013 and multiple renovation projects requiring follow-up permits and inspections. The property has a history of tenant buyouts, with two documented cases in 2017 and 2018 totaling five tenants and $59,500 in payments. Recent maintenance issues have included instances of mold/mildew (2020) and graffiti (2019), though these were addressed according to city records.
