942-946 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The building at 942-946 Stanyan Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential property located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Deborah V Vanpatten Trust. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent major work completed in 2024 including a comprehensive remodel of one kitchen, one bathroom, and one powder room, along with water heater replacement and electrical system upgrades costing approximately $74,000.

This followed several other substantial improvements including window replacements in 2016, reroofing projects in 2011 and 2014, and multiple interior renovations between 2006 and 2012. The building has a history of maintenance issues documented through complaints and violations, particularly in 2006-2007 when multiple violations were filed regarding heating, plumbing, electrical systems, and kitchen appliances, though these were all abated by March 2007.

Since then, there have been periodic concerns addressed promptly, including fire safety issues such as extinguishers and roof access in 2023-2024, and various electrical work including a 2008 rewire of unit 942 with new panels and circuits. The property has experienced several fire alarm system activations, most of which were unintentional, and one contained cooking fire incident, with no civilian injuries recorded in any incidents. Recent activity from 2024 shows ongoing attention to building maintenance and code compliance, though multiple open cases from early 2025 regarding street conditions, graffiti, and sign maintenance indicate some exterior maintenance challenges.
