190-192 Collins St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 190-192 Collins Street, constructed in 1922, is currently undergoing significant renovations. Most notably, there are ongoing efforts to officially add a fifth unit to the ground floor, with permits filed in July 2024, while earlier this year (February 2024), substantial remodeling work was completed on four units including three kitchen and four bathroom renovations, with a reported cost of $166,197.

Previous improvements include kitchen cabinet and gas range replacement in Unit 190B (2023), comprehensive unit renovations in 2019 at Unit 192B, and window replacements in 2013 to address a building complaint. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, with a 2023 complaint alleging unauthorized modifications to Unit 192B, though all building inspection violations from 2003 and 2008 related to safety concerns like emergency exits, smoke detectors, and stair repairs have been resolved.

Recent maintenance issues reported through 311 calls include a missing side sewer vent cover and a collapsed sidewalk (2024), though many of these recent complaints involve external factors like parking violations and tree maintenance needs. The property management has been active in making substantial improvements to the building's infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple permits for electrical sub-panel installations, plumbing upgrades, and various unit modernizations, highlighting an ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property while working through the challenges of adding a new unit to the existing structure.
