33-35 Downey St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 33-35 Downey Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Rakesh Teckchandani, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1903. Most notably, the building received substantial improvements in 2012, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels on all floors, electrical system upgrades to 80-amp service with new wiring and installations (including smoke detectors), and wall/insulation work. The building had a roof replacement in March 2023 costing $13,650, and a plumbing upgrade for heating systems was initiated in January 2024.

Historical records show attention to maintenance issues, with multiple repairs for dry rot documented in 1986 and 2012, and routine safety inspections were conducted in 2003, 2008, and 1996. There were two notable building violations in 2003 related to fire safety and door security, both of which were resolved by April 2003. Recent maintenance concerns include reports of no heat in one unit in late 2013, which was addressed within two weeks, and several sewer-related issues in early 2020, with one issue remaining open as of mid-2020.

The property has been subject to regular inspections and has received various municipal services, including responses to temporary parking requests and routine cleaning matters. The building's maintenance history demonstrates ongoing attention to safety and code compliance, with all major renovations having received proper permitting and completion status. While there have been some infrastructure challenges, particularly related to sewer services in recent years, these issues appear to have been addressed through appropriate channels.
