47-49 Delmar St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 47-49 Delmar Street property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Knox Revoc Trust. The building has a documented history of moisture-related issues, particularly dry rot, requiring multiple repairs over the years. The most recent significant maintenance work was completed in 2021, costing $15,000, which involved replacing dry rot-affected trim boards, steps, and risers on the street-facing side. Earlier dry rot remediation efforts include repairs in 2005 (which unfortunately expired) and more substantial work in 1997 that included replacement of mudsills and foundation wall improvements to address water problems.

A patio door installation was successfully completed in 2013 with energy-efficient specifications. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 2003, 2008, and 2017, during which several violations were identified and subsequently addressed, including fire safety concerns, door security requirements, and egress-related issues. Notably, a plumbing permit for sewer system work was filed in 2016 but was canceled. Recent activity around the property (from late 2024) has primarily involved external issues such as parking violations and sidewalk obstructions, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance.

The property has maintained compliance with housing regulations since the violation resolution periods, with no active violations currently on record. The building's documented history shows consistent attention to maintenance issues, particularly to address moisture-related problems, though some permits from the 2000s did not complete their intended work. The most recent improvements (2021) suggest ongoing maintenance efforts by the current ownership, particularly focusing on structural elements and access improvements. Recent inspections and resolved violations indicate a generally maintained building status, though the age of the structure (built in 1908) inherently presents challenges that require regular attention.
