47-49 Germania St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential property at 47-49 Germania Street in Hayes Valley is a two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the August Paul Marino 2016 Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related repairs over the past 15 years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2016 when repairs were made to both the deck and backdoor, including replacement of rotten wood and installation of new siding at a cost of $8,000. Earlier structural improvements were completed in 1991, when rear stairs and exterior siding were replaced.

Of particular note is a gas safety concern that was addressed in November 2009, when a 10-foot gas pipe section was replaced due to leakage, suggesting appropriate attention to safety issues when they arise. The property has had various maintenance and cleanliness issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance. Recent complaints in August 2024 regarding blocked driveways were either resolved without enforcement or deemed invalid due to insufficient information.

There were also two fire-related complaints in March 2020, though these were either found to have no merit or were duplicate reports. Planning records indicate a successful application to legalize a substandard lot area in 2020, which was approved, demonstrating compliance with zoning regulations. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of critical systems, the frequency of recent street cleaning and parking enforcement incidents suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood's maintenance and parking conditions, though these issues are exterior to the building itself.
