2779-2783 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 2779-2783 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Eric Way Leong, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant renovations over the years. The most recent building permit activity occurred in 2012, when a caretaker room and storage room were added to the first floor, with corresponding electrical work completed in August 2012. Earlier renovations included the addition of a full bathroom at ground floor level in 2008, and various interior improvements to unit 2781 in 2005.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2003 and 2024. These include concerns about ventilation and mold (most recently in February 2024), earlier mold and mouse infestation issues in 2013, and various plumbing and electrical problems including improperly installed water heaters and open wiring in 2013. The property has also faced fire safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2003 regarding smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and staircase handrails, all of which were abated in January 2004. Multiple 311 calls since 2020 primarily relate to parking issues near the property, with several citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though these are external to the building's condition or management.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly between 2006-2013, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent permits and inspections. Recent complaints have been less frequent, with the most current issues centered around ventilation and mold concerns as of early 2024. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, as evidenced by the completion status of numerous permits, though the presence of recurring moisture-related issues suggests some ongoing structural or maintenance challenges. The building's systems have been periodically updated, as shown by multiple plumbing and electrical permits between 2005-2012, indicating efforts to maintain and modernize the property's infrastructure.
