1803-1809 Cabrillo St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1803-1809 Cabrillo Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Ming Family Trust, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Built in 1922, the property has been the subject of numerous complaints and violations, most notably regarding interior and exterior paint conditions. In 2022, serious concerns were raised about peeling paint creating lead hazard risks, with a violation that remained active until May 2024.

More recent complaints from early 2024 (Jan-Mar 2024) highlighted issues with deteriorating facade paint, black mold, dry rot, and cracked exterior surfaces. A pattern of maintenance neglect is evidenced by a 2017 complaint about peeling paint and multiple routine inspections dating back to 1999. The building's permit history shows some attempts at maintenance, including stair repairs in 2004 and a reroofing project in 2000, though the latter permit expired without completion.

Current active violations (as of 2024) include multiple fire safety concerns, such as the need to repair fire proofing, address combustible storage issues, and provide a gas utility shutoff tool. There have also been recurring issues with building permits, both required and neglected. Recent activity outside the building (2024) shows multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris on or near the property, as well as a flooding incident, though these are less directly related to the building's structural and safety conditions. The building's record indicates an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges, with some issues remaining unaddressed for extended periods, particularly regarding lead paint hazards and safety compliance.
