264-266 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 264-266 Carl Street, constructed in 1904, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2023 and early 2024. Most notably, there are current problems in unit 266A reported in January 2024, including severe paint peeling, crumbling walls, and issues around the clawfoot tub. A May 2023 complaint indicated a gas leak and mold issues in unit B.

The building has a documented history of structural and safety violations, including a 2021 complaint about an unauthorized metal and canvas structure on the roof that raised concerns about wind load and anchoring methods. In 2006, the property faced multiple violations related to fire safety, including issues with extinguishers, storage, and sprinklers, as well as problems with mold/mildew and inadequate heating systems, which prompted several renovation permits with varying costs and some expired permits. The building's maintenance record shows multiple electrical upgrades between 2006-2010, including the installation of new circuits, bathroom fans, and furnace servicing. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations near the building, particularly regarding sidewalk parking, with multiple citations issued between June 2024 and October 2024.

There have also been instances of abandoned furniture and debris requiring removal from the vicinity. Historical violations from as far back as 2001 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance indicate ongoing safety monitoring requirements. While many previous violations have been officially marked as "Not Active," the pattern of recurring maintenance issues and recent complaints suggests persistent challenges with building upkeep and safety compliance. The most recent complaints seem to focus primarily on interior maintenance issues, while past violations indicated broader concerns including structural work, fire safety, and heating systems.
