4097-4099 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story duplex at 4097-4099 17th Street in Corona Heights, built in 1907, has undergone several notable renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in early 2025, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, along with some infrastructure-related concerns including a water leak.

The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance and improvement projects, with significant work occurring in 2021-2022, including an attempted kitchen renovation and skylight installation (though this permit was ultimately cancelled), as well as the reconstruction of enclosed porches at the rear of the building which received proper approval and was carried out. In 2017, the property underwent compliance work related to a retaining wall and fence replacement, which included both building and plumbing modifications, such as installing a sand interceptor for subsoil drainage.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning incidents over the decades, including a 1995 complaint about units being rented while the building was condemned, and a 1994 complaint regarding possible unauthorized construction work and electrical issues. While many of these historical issues have been resolved, including a 1998 roof leak and a 1996 storage violation, the property management appears to have faced ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance and responding to resident concerns. The most recent pattern of complaints in early 2025 suggests ongoing issues with property maintenance or management.
