247-249 Edna St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-story multi-family residential building at 247-249 Edna Street in Sunnyside, built in 1931, has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple safety concerns over recent years. In 2021, major improvements were made including window replacement, roof replacement, and stucco repairs, while earlier in 2027 substantial renovations were completed including the conversion of ground floor spaces, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the addition of new utilities.

The property experienced several concerning situations in 2019-2020, with multiple fire safety violations including blocked exits, combustible materials, and hoarding issues, though these were subsequently addressed. The building faced periods of vacancy and maintenance neglect in 2018, including a violation of the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, and there have been multiple complaints about debris and garbage accumulation around the property, with several recent calls in early 2025 related to garbage and sidewalk maintenance issues. Recent developments show continued investment in the property, with building permits filed for garage conversion and other improvements, though some previously proposed modifications, such as adding a laundry facility and half bath, were withdrawn.

The property management has responded to various building code and compliance requirements, including addressing illegal dwelling unit concerns and obtaining necessary permits for improvements. A notable tenant buyout occurred in October 2024 involving one tenant at 137 Edna Street for $27,500, while multiple other buyouts on nearby properties in 2022 suggest significant tenant turnover in the area. The building's recent history shows a pattern of addressing violations and making improvements, though challenges with maintenance and compliance have been evident.
