825 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 825 Ashbury Street in Buena Vista Park, owned by Steve & Irma Asti LLC, was constructed in 1931 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. The most recent major work involved the removal of a deteriorated trash chute in 2017, which was completed to address a 2016 notice of violation. A notable building violation in 2016 involved issues with carbon monoxide and smoke alarm compliance, exterior painting, and lead hazard notifications, which were eventually resolved.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, including water damage issues in 2000 that affected both bathroom and kitchen areas in Unit 4, and garage ceiling damage in 2005. Historical records show routine inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent being in 2022. The property has also had multiple street space permits issued, including one in 2015 that remains active. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of addressing both routine and emergency repairs, often following violations or complaints.

Past issues have included problems with water damage, plumbing, and structural concerns, such as the 1998 concrete deck strengthening work. More recently, there has been an ongoing pattern of parking-related issues outside the building, with multiple 311 calls for blocked driveways between 2023 and 2025, resulting in several citations being issued. The property management has generally responded to violations and completed necessary repairs, though some historical permits show as expired or completed without recorded follow-up actions. The building's age and maintenance history suggest regular upkeep is required to address the various systems and structural elements typical of a 1931 construction.
