651 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

651 Cole St is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Daniel S Hoshiyama & Paula. The property has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most concerning problems occurring in late 2017-2018 when multiple violations were documented across all units.

These included plumbing and electrical violations, damage to decks and siding, issues with an unapproved kitchen sink P-trap, fire safety concerns regarding a blocked egress door, and lead hazard warnings. These violations were addressed through various permits and completed work in 2018, including plumbing repairs, electrical work, and window installations. More recent complaints filed in March 2023 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with reports of no heat, mold, electrical problems, and appliance issues in one active complaint, while another completed complaint noted problems with outlets, heaters, sanitation, and exterior wood conditions.

The building's history also includes a fire alarm system violation from late 2017, though this was subsequently abated. Recent maintenance issues have primarily focused on the building's systems and exterior condition, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding missing sewer vent covers and sidewalk maintenance concerns. While the most serious code violations from 2017-2018 have been addressed, the building has continued to experience periodic maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent complaints and service requests.
