936-938 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story multi-family residential building at 936-938 Stanyan Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1909 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a bathroom remodeling project in 2017 ($5,000), an upgrade to a 200-amp electrical service panel in March 2017, and important plumbing work in January 2020 involving the replacement of the sewer lateral and house trap. A concerning event was reported in September 2016 regarding unauthorized window replacement work.

The building faced a cluster of housing code violations in November 2002 related to safety equipment and maintenance, including requirements for smoke detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, gas meter instructions, and various plumbing and electrical issues, though all were abated by November 18, 2002. Recent maintenance and safety records are generally positive, with the most significant recent infrastructure work being the 2020 sewer lateral replacement. The property has experienced various maintenance issues typical for a building of its age, including several instances of graffiti (2021-2022), parking violations, and hazardous materials cleanup on nearby sidewalks.

A routine housing inspection is currently active as of 2011, though no specific violations have been documented in recent years. The building's systems have received regular attention, as evidenced by the prompt response to a sewage backup incident in late 2019, which was quickly resolved with flushing of the lower lateral and no further issues reported. Management has demonstrated responsiveness to infrastructure needs, with documented plumbing and electrical upgrades in recent years, though the expired permits from 1987 for compliance work suggest administrative follow-up may be warranted to confirm final disposition.
