57 Eureka St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 57 Eureka Street, a one-story multi-family residential building built in 1900, has experienced several significant issues over the past decade that collectively raised serious safety and habitability concerns. Most notably, in late 2014, a major violation was filed stating the unauthorized use of the building as a multi-unit dwelling, highlighting numerous life/safety hazards including unpermitted wiring, plumbing, lack of required smoke detectors, improper fire-resistant materials, absence of second means of egress, and lack of proper heating systems. This violation also documented extensive maintenance issues in Unit 57-A, including damaged entrance threshold, deteriorated deck boards, chipping/peeling paint creating lead hazards, and mold/mildew problems.

The building subsequently underwent several corrective actions in 2015, including electrical work, plumbing updates, and stove removal, with permits showing compliance with the original configuration requirements. Prior to these events, the property had documented electrical issues from 2013-2014, including ungrounded receptacles and various electrical repairs. The history of maintenance and safety concerns extends beyond these major violations, with multiple building permits showing work completed over the years, including window installations in 1989, reroofing in 2005, and various electrical improvements.

More recent records from 2022-2025 show primarily external maintenance issues, including sidewalk cleaning and garbage removal requests through 311 calls, though these are less concerning than previous habitability problems. The most recent correction of unit count in early 2025 suggests ongoing monitoring of the property's legal status. Historical complaints indicate some exterior maintenance issues, such as a 2011 combustible materials violation and various sidewalk and street cleaning concerns.
