323 Moraga St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 323 Moraga Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Archard Joehleen and constructed in 1964. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades, with the most critical concerns emerging between 2011-2012, when multiple violations were recorded relating to unpermitted work and safety hazards, including improperly installed water heaters (which had leaking pipes, inadequate seismic bracing, and combustion air issues), a non-vented dryer exhaust, an unpermitted basement bathroom and kitchen, and issues with the furnace's clearance to combustible materials.

These violations led to multiple notice of violation (NOV) issuances and a director's hearing in July 2012. The building's maintenance history shows some structural and safety improvements, including chemical grouting work on the east property line footing in 2011 (cost: $8,000), an expired permit for fire protection installation and sheetrock work in 2008 (cost: $1,000), and the remediation of dry rot repair work completed in 2006 (cost: $15,000).

More recent concerns include numerous 311 calls regarding property maintenance issues, including multiple parking violations, noise complaints, and sidewalk concerns. The building has also been associated with illegal short-term rental activity, as evidenced by planning records indicating closure and abatement of this violation. While some historical issues have been resolved, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance challenges and regulatory compliance concerns that have persisted over time, particularly between 2008 and 2012, with relatively fewer documented issues in recent years.
