415-419 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 415-419 Carl Street, owned by Emily Sheu, was constructed in 1928 and has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the years. The most recent major work includes window replacements, with permits filed in 2022 to replace three street-visible windows and completed in 2019 for nine windows using Marvin wood with integrated ogee lugs. In 2006-2007, the property underwent substantial interior remodeling including kitchen and bathroom renovations ($125,000), followed by comprehensive electrical rewiring of all units.

Building systems upgrades have included plumbing work in 2008 to replace drainage piping, secure vent and flue systems, and upgrade the central furnace. The building has experienced recurring fire safety and maintenance issues, with seven fire-related complaints since 2008, including violations for alarm systems in 2008 and 2022, combustible materials in 2018, and a sleeping area requirement violation in October 2023. While most of these issues were promptly corrected, the recent sleeping area violation remains open.

The property has undergone regular housing inspections, with routine inspections in 2017 and 2009. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage management in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. Several building violations were recorded in 2009 relating to gas meter instructions, fire extinguishers, and security devices, though all were subsequently abated. The building's systems have generally been well-maintained, with records showing prompt response to violations and regular upgrades to ensure compliance with current codes, though the recent fire violation indicates a need for continued attention to safety requirements.
