117-119 Webster St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 117-119 Webster Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Ko-ri Inc and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most notably, in 2006 the building underwent a task force inspection that revealed multiple violations, including problems with heating systems, mold/mildew presence, interior surface maintenance needs, and security requirements, all of which were subsequently abated by June 2006.

Prior to this, the building underwent repairs following fire and water damage to four apartments in 1996, and in 2004, some egress-related issues were addressed. A cancelled permit from October 2021 attempted to address various maintenance issues, including stair landing tiles, dry rot repairs, window repairs, and garage door replacement, though these works appear not to have been completed. The building has had various infrastructure improvements over the years, including a reroofing project in 2004 (cost: $14,880) and electrical upgrades in 2010 for furnace and GFCI plug installations.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the adjacent street and sidewalk throughout 2023-2024, along with several parking enforcement requests for vehicles blocking driveways. Two current open issues include a lifted sidewalk (reported November 2024) and a defaced signage issue (reported December 2024). A potential conversion of some units into group housing was noted in planning records, though this appears to have been addressed as "closed - abated".
