442-446 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 442-446 Ashbury Street is a 3-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Lillie M Washington Living Trust. The building has experienced several significant structural issues in recent years, most notably a foundation problem in 2019 that required temporary shoring of the first floor and subsequent repairs. The building has received multiple violation notices, including an active complaint from 2023 regarding falling vinyl siding on the south side of the building, which presents a potential hazard to pedestrians.

There are also outstanding violations from 2011 related to the need for handrails, building permits, sanitation issues, and fire safety requirements that remain unresolved. The property has undergone some improvements, including bathroom and kitchen remodels in 2017 and the replacement of console heaters in 2013, though several permits related to these projects have since expired. Recent building permits indicate ongoing maintenance work, including a March 2023 permit to address siding issues.

The building's history includes multiple routine inspections showing various code compliance issues that were generally resolved, though some remain active. There have been several complaints about construction noise and unauthorized work, particularly during 2016-2019, as well as concerns about parking violations and sidewalk maintenance in the surrounding area. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and parking enforcement between 2017 and 2023, though these exterior issues do not directly impact the building's habitability. Planning records indicate consideration of significant modifications to the building's structure and parking configuration, though no recent developments are noted.
