854-856 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 854-856 Stanyan Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, built in 1910 and currently owned by the Schmetterer Family Trust.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, with the most significant recent event being a fire code violation issued in September 2024 regarding an ERRCS permit requirement, which has been referred to hearing. The building underwent several important improvements over the years, including reroofing projects in 1988 and 2017 (costing $7,500), dry rot repairs in 2011 ($8,100), and a significant unauthorized conversion to office space in the early 2000s that led to violations and enforcement actions, though this was eventually legalized as a non-profit institution use in 2002.

More recently, the building has been experiencing issues with graffiti, with multiple incidents reported throughout 2024, including private building graffiti and public fixture graffiti, though many of these cases have been resolved. The property has a generally consistent record of responding to maintenance needs, as evidenced by the various permits for repairs and improvements, though the recent fire code violation indicates there are still outstanding compliance requirements that need to be addressed.
