234-236 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 234-236 Carl Street, currently owned by Matthew & Patricia Kruger, was constructed in 1900 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant changes and maintenance activities over its lifetime, most notably in 1999 when a major renovation attempt was made to merge two units into one top-floor owner's unit (though this permit ultimately expired).

In recent years, the building has seen improvements including the replacement of nine street-facing windows with double-hung wood-clad windows in 2017 (at a cost of $10,000). The building has experienced multiple routine housing inspections over the years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in 2001-2006, primarily related to fire safety and security issues such as fire extinguisher maintenance, deadlatch requirements, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were ultimately abated by August 2007. The property has a notable history of compliance issues during the late 1990s, including concerns about illegal units and hazardous wiring in 1998-1999, as well as plumbing work conducted without proper permits.

More recently, there was an investigation into illegal short-term rentals in 2018 that was addressed through a Notice of Violation. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including reroofing in 1990 and stair repairs in 2002, though some permits from the early 2000s related to unit modifications are listed as expired. Property management has been active in addressing both routine maintenance and regulatory requirements, with recent 311 calls primarily related to parking violations rather than building-specific issues, suggesting improved overall building management in recent years.
