810-816 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story multi-family residential building at 810-816 Central Avenue in the Park North neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and contains three units (with a cancelled permit attempt for a fourth unit in 2018). The property has experienced several significant structural and safety events, most notably a major fire incident in 2006 that caused substantial damage to roof framing, ceiling joists, walls, and stair structures.

This was followed by foundation issues in 2005 requiring emergency repairs, and comprehensive restoration work in 2012-2013 including foundation retrofitting, structural repairs, and complete rewiring of all units. The building underwent significant plumbing updates in 2012-2013, including the installation of new waste systems, water supplies, and gas water heaters for all three units. Multiple building violations and complaints have been documented, including concerns about illegal basement units in 2013-2015, unsafe lead work practices in 2013, and a period of vacancy following the fire in 2006-2009.

The property has had recurring parking enforcement issues near the address, with several citations issued between 2023-2024, and some recent maintenance concerns noted through 311 calls, including flooding and debris removal needs. The most recent permit activity indicates an interest in adding an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) to the existing structure, though this effort was cancelled in 2018. While the building has undergone significant rehabilitation work following past damage, including fire safety improvements with new smoke detectors and system upgrades, the history of structural issues and various violations suggests attention to maintenance and compliance matters has been required over the years.
