37 Emerson St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 37 Emerson Street, situated in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, currently appears to be a vacant multi-family residential building with no documented units or stories. The building has experienced recurring sidewalk maintenance issues, with three documented cases between 2023 and 2024 showing lifted or collapsed sidewalks, and while one case from 2024 was resolved upon inspection, another from September 2023 remains open.

The property has also faced challenges with graffiti, particularly in 2023 when both offensive and non-offensive graffiti was reported on and around the building, though it should be noted that during this period, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors had suspended enforcement of the Graffiti Ordinance due to COVID-19. The building's fire safety history shows several concerning trends, with documented violations for blocked exits (2019), multiple fire code violations (2020), and recurring issues with alarm systems between 2005 and 2020.

While all fire code violations were eventually corrected, the frequency of fire alarm incidents between 2005 and 2020 raises some concern, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries or actual fires. The property has also experienced ongoing parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and driveway blockages between late 2023 and 2024, though most of these vehicles were gone upon inspection or resulted in citations when located.
