287-291 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 287-291 Carl Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, owned by Raul Arriaza, has a century-long history dating back to 1911. The most significant recent event was a fire incident in 2013 that caused minor damage requiring permits for repairs including garage door replacement, ceiling and wall finishes, window repairs, electrical work, and insulation - all of which was completed at a cost of $12,000. This incident prompted electrical modifications including the removal of one bathroom's fixtures and installation of smoke detectors.

In 2009, the building faced multiple fire safety violations related to egress obstruction and combustible storage, though these were resolved within two weeks. The building undergoes regular routine housing inspections, with records from 1995 showing water damage issues in various areas, including the south entry staircase, kitchen door, and northeast room, though these problems were eventually addressed. Recent external maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 calls, with the most recent being a damaged tree reported in June 2024.

Between 2020 and 2024, there have been several street and sidewalk maintenance issues recorded, including waste removal, illegal postings, and cleaning needs, all of which were resolved. A carbon monoxide detector activation was reported in the building, though no actual carbon monoxide was present and no injuries were reported. The building's permit and violation history suggests regular maintenance and prompt attention to safety issues, with no active violations currently on record.
