1840-1844 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1840-1844 McAllister Street in Park North, constructed in 1908, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few decades. Most notably, in late 2017, the property faced multiple violations including rodent infestation, exterior wood paint issues, lead hazard concerns, stair repairs, and fire safety compliance matters, all of which were relatively promptly addressed and abated by July 2018. During this same period, there were documented problems with the back stairs deteriorating condition and cracking boards.

In 2018, the building underwent window replacements for six dry-rotted top sash windows on the front facade, and in 2018-2019, the property had some structural safety concerns with loose scaffolding reported in early 2019. The building has a history of fire-related issues, including a minor fire incident that required roof and third-floor repairs in 1995 costing $75,000, and more recent fire safety concerns in 2012 that involved alarm system corrections. Earlier maintenance work includes seismic improvements completed in 2003, which involved installing plywood and hold-downs at the basement level.

The property has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with the most recent concerns primarily revolving around exterior maintenance and safety compliance that have been addressed. Recent 311 calls from early 2025 primarily relate to street cleaning and debris removal, indicating ongoing general maintenance matters in the immediate vicinity of the building. The most recent building permits and violations suggest that major structural and safety issues have been resolved, though periodic maintenance continues to be required given the building's age and condition.
