846-850 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit residential building at 846-850 Central Avenue in Park North, owned by Maria Garciarena, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent notable plumbing work being a furnace replacement in 2020 and a complete main sewer replacement in 2015. Of particular concern was a lead paint remediation project in 2014 that generated multiple complaints about improper containment and removal procedures, as well as noise disturbances.

These issues were addressed through inspections and notifications, with several violations related to lead paint hazards, interior surface conditions, and building safety requirements being filed in 2013-2014, all of which were marked as abated by October 2004. An earlier set of violations in 2004 pertaining to fire safety equipment, emergency exits, smoke detectors, and shared stair repairs were also resolved. The building has experienced minimal major violations or complaints in recent years, though there has been an ongoing pattern of parking and sanitation-related issues in the vicinity since 2024.

The most recent building-specific work was the 2020 furnace replacement, which was completed under a plumbing permit that has since expired. The surrounding area has seen consistent reports of sidewalk parking violations, vehicle noise issues, and occasional debris concerns through 311 calls, particularly during 2024, with some cases remaining open as of the latest reporting. The property appears to have maintained basic compliance with building codes since the resolution of the lead paint and safety issues, with no recent building-specific violations on record.
