1819 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1819 McAllister Street, owned by Nwihim Adolphus C N & Rosem, has a long history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1900. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about the building's occupancy status, with an active complaint from August 2017 alleging illegal conversion from its permitted two-unit (R-3) classification to an unauthorized three-unit (R-2) configuration, particularly citing unauthorized changes to the ground floor playroom area.

This complaint outlines multiple life safety concerns, including unapproved wiring, plumbing installations, lack of proper ventilation, missing smoke detectors, inadequate egress, and possible fire safety code violations. The building has undergone several significant repairs over its history, including a gas houseline extension completed in August 2023, rear wooden stairway repairs in 2009 (following a complaint), and a reroofing project in 2001.

There have been multiple plumbing issues documented, with the most recent work in 2023 and earlier sewer line repairs in 2009. A series of complaints emerged in 2009 regarding various maintenance problems, including heating system issues, plumbing problems, and unauthorized unit modifications, while more recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as noise complaints and illegal parking. The property has shown recurring concerns with compliance and maintenance requirements, with several violations remaining active as of the most recent inspection records, particularly relating to building permit requirements and unauthorized unit modifications.
