2852-2854 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 2852-2854 Pine Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Gregory J Wimmer Living Trust. The building has undergone extensive renovations and maintenance work over the past decade, with significant improvements in 2022-2023 including bathroom and kitchen remodels in Unit A, general rewiring, and electrical upgrades. A notable series of issues emerged in mid-2021 when tenants filed complaints regarding heating problems, exposed wiring, electrical overloading, and plumbing issues, though these violations were subsequently addressed and abated by April 2022.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and renovation activity, including exterior stair repairs (2017), multiple unit renovations (2015-2022), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Several complaints about unauthorized construction work and permit violations were filed between 2014-2019, including a notable incident regarding a rooftop deck installation on the rear cottage structure. The property has undergone several electrical system upgrades over the years, including a 200-amp underground service upgrade in 2003 and various sub-panel installations in subsequent years.

A cluster of violations in July 2021 related to heating, electrical, and plumbing issues was formally documented and resolved, representing the most significant recent maintenance challenges. The building's history shows consistent investment in maintenance and improvements, with particular focus on unit modernization, safety upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. While there have been several complaints regarding construction work and permit compliance over the years, these issues appear to have been addressed through proper channels, with most recent repairs focusing on unit-specific upgrades and system improvements. Regular maintenance of common areas, including exterior stairs and decks, has been documented through various building permits, though some historical complaints about unauthorized modifications suggest past challenges in this area.
