200 Rose St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story, 13-unit multifamily residential building at 200 Rose Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Gobar Franklin R, has significant ongoing compliance issues and recent habitability concerns. Most notably, the property remains non-compliant with San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, with an active violation filed in May 2020 and a previous violation in October 2017, despite obtaining a permit in July 2018 for retrofit work valued at $150,000.

Recent complaints from 2022 have documented serious maintenance issues including rodent infestations, sanitation problems with uncleaned trash bins, and resident reports of inadequate heat and malfunctioning laundry facilities. Historical records show recurring maintenance issues, with multiple reroofing projects completed in 2012, 2013, and 1991, and various unit improvements including a 2018 remodel of Unit 13 featuring modern kitchen and bathroom updates.

The building has experienced several fire safety-related incidents and complaints, though most were determined to have no merit upon investigation. While the property has made some infrastructure improvements, such as the installation of solar panels and electrical upgrades in 2013-2015, the persistent nature of habitability complaints and current seismic retrofit non-compliance raise significant concerns about building maintenance and resident safety.
