337 Webster St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 337 Webster Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Room Equity LLC, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in November 2023, the building received a $20,000 reroofing project. The building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic upgrade in 2016 under SF ordinance 66-13, though there was a notable violation filed in 2019 regarding initial non-compliance before the work was completed.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues, with several violations and complaints particularly concentrated between 2015 and 2022. These include a significant incident in 2015 with loss of gas utilities and water heater issues that required plumbing intervention, and 2022 complaints regarding heat issues, common area maintenance, and multiple repair needs including a damaged ceiling and malfunctioning smoke detector. More recent complaints in 2023-2024 have focused on the building's front gate power issues affecting access, though these have been resolved.

While the building has had its share of problems, many of the historical violations and complaints appear to have been addressed, with some recent building permits suggesting ongoing maintenance. The property has also required attention to utility systems, with a significant plumbing complaint in 2015 regarding unpermitted work and gas line issues, and an electrical complaint in the same year about unauthorized wiring work. The building's exterior and common areas have been the subject of multiple 311 calls primarily related to general cleaning and maintenance issues, though these appear to be routine in nature.
