2036 Ellis St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 2036 Ellis Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Anza Vista neighborhood, owned by Horace Wheatley and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced several significant phases of vacancy-related issues, most notably between 2010 and 2015, when multiple violations were recorded regarding failure to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance (194-09), including requirements for registration and associated fees totaling $765.00. During this period, the property was officially declared vacant in November 2014 and these violations were eventually abated by January 2015.

The property has also faced ongoing fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2017 and 2022 involving alarm systems and sprinkler/standpipe systems. While some of these issues were promptly corrected, including violations in March 2017 and January 2021, a violation for sprinkler/standpipe systems issued in June 2022 remained open until September 2022. Historical issues include electrical problems and mold/mildew documented in 2002. More recently, the property has experienced several urban maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024 regarding tree root damage to sidewalks, as well as issues related to garbage, debris, and parking violations in the vicinity.

The most recent incident was a property damage case involving tree maintenance, recorded in August 2024. A planning record indicates consideration for constructing additional housing units on the vacant portion of the lot, though this appears to be informational only. There have been no recorded violations or significant issues with the building since the 2022 sprinkler violation was resolved, suggesting improved compliance with building and safety codes in recent years. The building's historical documentation shows a pattern of addressing violations, though some issues required multiple notices before resolution, particularly during the 2010-2015 period of vacancy-related violations.
