205 Collins St, San Francisco, CA 94118
The three-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 205 Collins Street, owned by MWC Sutter Street LLC and constructed in 1979, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there is a current active complaint (as of 2023) regarding moisture problems in the building, with tenants reporting ongoing water intrusion issues affecting carpet and potentially causing mold, though some remediation steps were taken with dehumidifier installation. The building is also currently marked as non-compliant with the mandatory soft story retrofit program, with an active Tier IV compliance case filed in January 2023, though permits were previously issued in 2019 for a retrofit project valued at $80,000.
Multiple repairs and improvements have been undertaken, including a $89,500 reroofing project initiated in 2024, and various unit renovations such as Kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 4, 5, and 6 between 2016-2019, plus a significant residential soft story retrofit. The property has a history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations regarding water damage and mold/mildew between 2017 and 2023, and various fire safety concerns including violations for fire extinguishers and emergency lighting in 2017 that were subsequently abated. Additional past complaints reveal concerns about general maintenance, including reports of pest infestations (2019), plumbing issues (hot water outage in 2022), and various health and safety inspections.
The building has also undergone accessibility improvements, such as the installation of a power door operator in 2019 to comply with accessibility requirements. While many of these issues have been addressed through permits and repairs, the recurring nature of water-related problems and the current soft story compliance status warrant attention. Recent maintenance activities suggest ongoing investment in building improvements, as evidenced by the 2024 roofing project and previous significant renovation work.
