195-199 Ord St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 195-199 Ord Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by the Robert L Buckter 1987 Trust. Over the years, the building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events, with the most critical being a fire incident in 1994 that required repair work to ceilings and walls. The building underwent multiple roofing projects in late 1999, including roof framing and blind wall repairs, followed by kitchen remodeling work in 2000.

A notable cluster of violations was documented in 2001, including issues with ventilation, interior walls, security features, and sanitation concerns, all of which were officially abated by November 2001. A routine inspection in 2010 brought attention to fire safety concerns, including the need for fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire escape maintenance, though these were also resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with window replacements in 1987 and footing repairs that same year, though some permits related to these works are marked as expired. Recent activity at the property, while not directly related to building conditions, shows ongoing management of external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning, graffiti removal, and illegal parking enforcement.

These external matters have mostly been resolved, according to city records. The most recent routine housing inspection occurred in 2017, though its specific findings are not detailed in the available records. The building's documented history suggests periodic maintenance and addressal of safety concerns, though some older permits and violations took time to resolve, with many being addressed through official abatement processes rather than immediate corrections. The property currently appears to have no active building violations or complaints on file, indicating that past issues have been addressed through proper channels.
