225-227 Collingwood St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 225-227 Collingwood Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Michael S. Hebel. The building has undergone some maintenance work, including the completion of a window replacement project in 2017 that involved installing nine new vinyl windows in the back of the building's kitchens, costing $4,500.

However, the building's history includes several concerning safety issues, most notably a significant incident in December 2008 when a tenant reported living without electricity or gas for over a year, relying on an extension cord and using a camping stove in their bedroom, which constituted a serious fire hazard. This followed a cluster of violations noted in December 2007 that required remediation of various safety issues, including the installation of handrails, fire extinguishers, fire proofing repairs, and self-closing devices at exterior doors, all of which were abated by January 29, 2008. The property has also experienced multiple fire safety concerns, with three unspecified fire violations documented in February 2010 related to electrical issues and extension cord use, alongside hazardous materials concerns.

While these violations were officially closed, they indicate a pattern of electrical and fire safety concerns within the building. Historical records show routine inspections and complaints dating back to the year 2000, though these were not typically associated with serious safety issues. The most recent documented building improvement (the 2017 window replacement) suggests some level of ongoing maintenance, but the building's past history of violations and complaints highlights several areas of concern, particularly regarding fire safety and electrical systems, though there is no indication of any active violations as of the most recent records available.
