95-97 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 95-97 Central Ave is a three-story multi-family residential building built in 1902, containing 7 units, situated in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood and currently owned by Samir Habash & Estear Famil. The building's history reveals several significant maintenance and safety concerns, most notably the recent active complaints regarding a vacant and graffiti-covered commercial storefront, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2024. The property has experienced multiple renovation and repair issues throughout its history, including unauthorized plumbing work in 2007 that resulted in violations, bathroom and kitchen remodeling in 2007, and a gas leak repair the same year.

Multiple building violations were recorded in 2003 regarding security, fire safety, and smoke detection, though these were abated by December 2003. Recent infrastructure improvements include a completed sewer lateral/house trap installation in 2020. The building's commercial space has a documented history of vacancy and code enforcement issues, with active complaints about the vacant storefront as recently as 2024, and previous incidents of unauthorized conversion to a coffee/sandwich shop in 2009.

Unit maintenance concerns have been documented through various complaints, including inadequate heating, electrical issues, and plumbing problems between 2006-2008, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property has undergone several street space and sidewalk-related permits in 2008 and 2015, typically involving minimal costs. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing issues with garbage, debris, and graffiti in the vicinity, though these are city-wide concerns rather than specific to the building itself. The building maintains an active Type 21 ABC License associated with the Central Haight Market, with an ongoing complaint about an improperly placed sign above residential window sills as of 2024.
