1108 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1108 Cole Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a century-old structure built in 1910, currently owned by the Helen R Simien Trust and containing two units. The building's history reveals some concerning issues, with two notable complaints over the past decade regarding potential structural problems.

In 2014, there was a serious complaint about the building possibly separating from its foundation, with concerns about unpermitted and structurally unsound additions that could pose earthquake hazards, though this case remains in "Not Active" status. More recently, in 2022, there was an incident involving an unauthorized structure in the rear yard, described as an 18-foot metal structure that was reportedly under exemption as an amusement device, though this complaint was marked as "Abated." The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project from 2006 valued at $10,200, though this permit has since expired.

While there have been no reported fire incidents aside from a carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO detected, the property has experienced various street-level issues as documented in 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, primarily related to parking enforcement matters and general street cleaning concerns. These external issues include multiple reports of abandoned vehicles, garbage and debris, damaged trees, and sidewalk cleaning needs, though most of these cases have been resolved. It's worth noting that the two main structural concerns from 2014 and 2022 were filed through the Building Inspection Division, indicating some level of oversight by city authorities, though the lack of documented resolution for the 2014 complaint regarding the building's foundation is notable.
