229 Laussat St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 229 Laussat Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Djabri Wajih Francis, is a 2-unit structure built in 1890. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance work over the past two decades, including a $11,000 reroofing project completed in 2022, termite-related repairs in 2017, and deck repairs with basement mildew remediation addressed in 2002. The property has maintained compliance with necessary electrical inspections, with the last recorded inspections completed in 2002.

Historical records indicate that the lot was split into two, containing an existing single-family dwelling and the two-unit flat, requiring variance zoning (VZ) approval due to substandard lot sizes. The property's recent history (2021-2025) shows ongoing urban environmental challenges typical of the Hayes Valley neighborhood, with multiple reports of encampments, waste, and debris on nearby public spaces. Between 2021 and 2025, there have been eight documented encampment-related incidents, all of which were resolved through various municipal services, with the most recent encampment cleanup occurring in November 2023.

There were also instances of street cleaning required for human/animal waste (September 2021 and September 2022) and reports concerning garbage and construction debris on the street (with the most recent in January 2025). While these external environmental issues affect the immediate neighborhood, they are typical of the urban setting and are managed by city services, rather than directly impacting the building's internal conditions or management. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with no documented internal building code violations or safety concerns in recent years.
