269-271 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 269-271 Carl Street, owned by Todd C Lukesh, has undergone significant and concerning development since 2018, with numerous permit applications, active violations, and recent complaints. Between 2016-2018, the property underwent substantial structural work, including foundation replacement, seismic upgrades, and HVAC improvements. However, from 2022 onwards, serious unauthorized construction activities have been documented, including the illegal removal of front stairs, construction of an unauthorized garage with deck, unpermitted rear additions, and excavation of new retaining walls.

These violations have resulted in multiple active citations that remain unresolved, with a director hearing scheduled for May 2024. The building has a concerning maintenance history, with active complaints in 2023-2024 regarding broken rain gutters and previous rodent sightings in 2023. Earlier works, including plumbing updates in 2010-2013 (water heater replacement, copper repiping, washer drain improvements) and electrical upgrades (200-amp service installation) were completed, but more recent plumbing and electrical issues have not been adequately addressed.

The property has been frequently cited for construction without proper permits, graffiti, and various maintenance issues. Most alarmingly, there is currently an active violation (Case #202296525) under investigation regarding unauthorized construction and permitting violations, with multiple citations issued that have resulted in monthly monitoring fees. The property's current status is under review, with multiple enforcement cases pending resolution through city channels.
