85 Corwin St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 85 Corwin Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1966 and currently owned by Victor Tsang. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects, most notably in 2015 when a $20,000 reroofing project and $500 siding board replacement were completed, along with window replacements worth $6,000.

A drainage improvement was made in 2007 with the installation of a 74-foot-long French drain and catch basin. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues over the past 17 years, with the most recent violations occurring between February and December 2023 regarding alarm systems and sleeping area requirements. Previous fire safety concerns included problems with blocked exits, combustible materials, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these violations were typically corrected promptly.

More recent building complaints include issues with bright motion sensor lights in 2022, which were resolved within a week. The property has been the subject of various municipal services calls in the surrounding area, including multiple parking enforcement actions (notably in 2019 and 2024), street cleaning matters, and a sewer-related incident in 2019 which was determined to be groundwater rather than sewage. Recent fire violations from 2023 include issues with the sprinkler system and 5-year service requirements, while earlier violations from 2020 involved multiple fire code infractions including problems with alarms, exits, and extinguishers, all of which were subsequently corrected.
