108-114 Walnut St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The four-unit, 4-story apartment building at 108-114 Walnut Street in Presidio Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Hughes Elvira D Trustee, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over recent years. Most concerning are two identical complaints filed in May 2023, reporting persistent heating system failures, problematic window seals allowing cold air infiltration, and structural concerns including floorboard warping and wall cracks. These issues appear to be recurring, as evidenced by multiple previous complaints and inspection records from 2021, which documented various violations including fire safety concerns and interior surface problems.

The building has undergone some repair work, including rear staircase renovations in 2021 costing $8,500, and previously addressed issues like dry rot repairs (2000) and reroofing (2001), though some permits from these earlier works are now expired. Historical records show a pattern of maintenance issues, with notable problems including an unpermitted roof deck installation (2016), exterior weatherproofing concerns, and multiple instances of paint deterioration. The property has experienced several fire safety incidents, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires, including false alarms and a CO detector activation.

Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing municipal concerns in the vicinity, such as tree maintenance issues and street lighting problems. While there are no active tenant buyouts on record for this address, the building's age and documented maintenance history suggest ongoing preservation challenges. The most recent building complaints were officially marked as "Not Active" in mid-2023, though they appear to represent continuing concerns based on their nature and previous history.
