852 Shrader St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The four-unit apartment building at 852 Shrader St, owned by Charles C & Carol A Knappic, is a two-story multi-family residential structure built in 1910 in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair works over the years, with the most recent major work being a $15,000 torch-down roofing project issued in December 2024. Historical records indicate recurring issues with stairway maintenance, particularly in 2005 and 2011, when dry rot repairs were undertaken on both the back and side stairs, with repairs exceeding 50% in some instances.

The building has also seen substantial plumbing infrastructure work, including a house trap replacement in 2017 and a sewer line replacement attempt in 2011, though that permit expired without confirmation of completion. The property has faced several building violations, particularly in 2011, when multiple issues were documented including stair repair needs, combustible storage concerns, a broken window pane, and the requirement for a gas meter instructional diagram, all of which were subsequently abated by September 2011. Earlier routine inspections in 1998-1999 also documented various concerns, though these were addressed and resolved. More recently, from September 2024 to December 2024, there have been multiple reports (seven in total) regarding driveway blocking issues that were handled by parking enforcement, with at least one resulting in a citation.

There were also reports in 2024 regarding street cleaning issues involving human waste, though these were either resolved or determined to require no action. Overall, while the building has required ongoing maintenance and repairs typical of its age, records indicate that violations and repair needs have generally been addressed in a timely manner. The most recent major work (roof replacement) suggests proactive maintenance by the current ownership. However, the frequency of parking enforcement calls in late 2024 indicates an ongoing challenge with parking management in the vicinity.
