216-218 Eureka St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 216-218 Eureka Street, built in 1902 and currently owned by the James Patrick Maher Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. The property was substantially upgraded in 2014 with a $90,000 conversion of non-conditioned storage space into living areas, including a bedroom, bathroom, and TV room, along with the installation of new electrical systems and solar power infrastructure.

Two separate solar power systems were installed in 2015 and 2016, with the latter being successfully completed with 16 PV modules and a 4.16 kW system rating. The building has a documented history of sewer-related issues, most notably experiencing six sewer backup incidents between November 2023 and January 2025, with the most recent occurring from a side sewer vent in January 2025.

While a significant complaint was filed in 1995 regarding various infrastructure issues including a failing brick foundation and plumbing system deterioration, many of these problems appear to have been addressed through subsequent improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 2006 and electrical upgrades in 2014. The most recent maintenance concerns primarily involve external issues such as a curb defect (December 2024) and instances of hazardous materials on sidewalks (August 2023), though these do not directly affect the building's habitability.
