435-441 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 435-441 Steiner Street is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, owned by Arlene T. Borick and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including multiple roofing works in 1989, 1993, and 2005, the most recent being a roof replacement in 2005 costing $3,000.

In 2023, an electrical permit was completed for installing a service light in the utility closet. The building has faced multiple safety and maintenance issues requiring attention, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024 regarding unpermitted greywater discharge from a washer in unit 435A, creating pooling water conditions in the shared backyard space. This issue remains active as of November 2024 and has generated multiple complaints.

Historically, the building has experienced various maintenance and safety challenges, including a significant set of violations in 2005 that required repairs to stairs, handrails, and security improvements, all of which were abated by September 2005. Earlier structural issues were addressed in 2003 when dry rot and termite damage in the back porch and stairs were repaired at a cost of $17,000. The property has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with records showing consistent attention to maintenance needs. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned external issues such as street cleaning, parking violations, and graffiti, while the most pressing current concern relates to the greywater discharge issue that appears to have persisted despite previous complaints and inspections.
