2116 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2116 Great Highway (also recognized as 2115 48th Avenue) was built in 1954 and has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the last few decades. Most recently, in early 2023, the property underwent plumbing work including house trap replacement and minor revisions to deck footings. A significant building safety issue arose in 2022 when structural concerns were reported regarding weather-compromised beams and support brackets, leading to a $16,000 project to address rusty deck hardware and reinforce framing.

The building has a documented history of deck and stair maintenance issues, with repairs to fire escape decks, balconies, and stairs recorded in multiple years (1999, 2001, 2002, 2018). A series of violations were recorded in 2000 related to handrails, floor coverings, iron gates, lead paint hazards, and sanitation concerns, though these were all abated by April 2000. The property underwent routine housing inspections in 2007, 2011, and 2017-2018, revealing various maintenance needs including weatherproofing repairs. Fire safety inspections in 2017 identified violations related to smoke alarms and fire escape systems, which were later abated.

A task force inspection in late 2017 also indicated areas needing correction. More recently, in 2023, there have been several reports regarding parking issues and sidewalk conditions near the property. A variance request for density, off-street parking, and usable open space was submitted but ultimately disapproved. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance activities, though some permits have expired, such as the July 2018 water heater installation permit that was marked as "Expired" rather than completed.
