251 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 13-unit apartment building at 251 Ashbury St in Park North, owned by the Nelson/noyon Living Trust, has a history dating back to its 1916 construction. The three-story multi-family residential building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including reroofing in 1999 and converting one garage door to create four spaces in the same year.

Recent building permits in 2019 indicated some street space work, though these were minimal at a cost of $1 each. The building faced several challenges in the early 2000s, with multiple security-related violations recorded in 2002 that required the installation of proper deadlatch locks and self-closing devices at exterior doors, along with a window pane replacement violation from 2000 - all of which were abated by September 2002. More recent history shows routine safety inspections in 2017 and multiple fire safety complaints between 2007 and 2022, though most were resolved promptly with conditions corrected.

Two notable complaints from 2017 regarding inadequate heat and possible lead paint contamination during window sanding were investigated, though no violations were ultimately recorded. The building's recent history includes several 311 calls in late 2024 regarding encampments and garbage issues near the property, and three structural maintenance calls in January 2025 concerning recreation equipment. The building class is designated as "Apartment 5 to 14 Units," and while the property has faced various issues over its history, most violations and complaints have been addressed in a timely manner, with no active violations or complaints currently on record as of October 2023.
