146-156 Rose St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 146-156 Rose Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building is currently addressing multiple active violations from late 2018 through 2019, including issues with heating systems, damaged carpets, sink counters, and safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Recent work, as of January 2024, includes comprehensive renovations to Unit 152 and 156, involving bathroom and kitchen restorations with new plumbing and electrical systems, valued at $98,000. The building has demonstrated commitment to safety improvements, successfully completing a soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 3) and upgrading the basement floor in compliance with city requirements. Historical maintenance issues have included a significant plumbing problem in 2015 involving a cracked sewer pipe, which was ultimately resolved by 2024, and various repairs to the rear stairway system to maintain proper egress requirements.

The property has seen consistent maintenance activity, including a $50,000 soft-story upgrade from 2018, and recent electrical improvements including a 400A service upgrade scheduled for late 2024. Building violations from 2018 specifically identified issues with heating systems, safety equipment, and maintenance of various building components, with ongoing efforts to address these problems evidenced by the recent renovation work and permit activity. The building's surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges, as documented in 311 calls for the vicinity, including issues with litter, graffiti, and encampments in the neighborhood, though these external factors are generally managed through municipal services and do not directly impact building conditions.
