211 Cornwall St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 211 Cornwall Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood has undergone significant renovations and improvements under the ownership of Half Dome Capital II LP since 2018. The most recent work, completed in November 2023, involved a comprehensive remodel of Unit #12's kitchen and two bathrooms at a cost of $99,200. Between 2021-2022, substantial safety upgrades were implemented, including the installation of a new fire alarm system (2022) and the addition of sprinklers throughout the ground floor (2022), with associated electrical monitoring. A major milestone was the successful addition of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in 2021, bringing the total unit count to 14, along with comprehensive window replacements and various unit renovations (2021-2023).

The building's history shows previous concerns that have largely been addressed. In 2018, the building faced several violations related to fire safety, electrical systems, and maintenance issues, including problems with the fire alarm panel and hazardous materials in the garage. These were officially abated by May 2018. Recent fire violations were issued in early 2024 regarding fire extinguishers and alarm systems, though these have also been marked as abated.

The property has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status. Individual units have received various updates, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and electrical system improvements. The building's management has faced multiple maintenance-related complaints over the years, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s, but recent records suggest improved responsiveness to maintenance issues. Two tenant buyouts were recorded under the new ownership, indicating tenant relocations in 2020 and 2022, though no recent buyouts have been documented.
