1938-1940 Jefferson St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 1938-1940 Jefferson Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood. Built in 1932 and currently owned by the Morrissey-Garvey Family Trust, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past decade. Most recently, in 2017, both fireplaces received safety upgrades with the installation of stainless steel liners, costing $10,914.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its decking and exterior elements, evidenced by multiple repair projects including a 2015 replacement of deteriorated window sills and rear deck joists ($6,500), and a comprehensive deck repair in 2008 ($14,000). The property has faced more serious maintenance concerns, particularly in 2012 when multiple building violations were recorded, including water damage, drainage issues, and various interior surface problems that led to the building being designated as a nuisance. These violations were abated by May 2012.

The building's systems have required ongoing attention, with a sewer replacement completed in 2012 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades including a kitchen remodel in 2016 costing $30,000. Recent history shows continued infrastructure challenges, with sewer-related issues still recorded in October 2023. While there have been several fire safety complaints, including two in late 2022 and one in 2019 regarding blocked exits and combustible materials, these were either found to have no merit or were promptly corrected. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for parking violations on the surrounding streets between 2020 and 2024.
