209-211 Downey St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 209-211 Downey Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, built in 1900 and classified as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of attention to safety features, particularly regarding stairways and railings, with multiple repair permits issued between 1986 and 2000 focusing on back stairs, concrete slabs, handrails, and decking systems.

The most recent significant structural work occurred in 2000, when horizontal railings were replaced with vertical pickets at interior landing and lower deck levels, along with roof repairs. The building has experienced ongoing issues with exterior maintenance and street cleaning in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls over recent years. Between 2017 and 2024, there have been recurring reports of loose garbage and general cleaning needs along the street and sidewalk.

The most recent 311 call from January 2024 reported issues with waste receptacles being left out continuously, though this was promptly resolved. Between 2017-2019, there were three reports of abandoned vehicles near the property, all of which were resolved when vehicles were no longer present. While these exterior maintenance issues have been addressed when reported, they represent the most significant ongoing maintenance pattern associated with the property in recent years, though none directly relate to the building's structural integrity or safety systems.
