81-83 Pearl St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-unit residential building at 81-83 Pearl Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Ian A. Mesey and Sydn Tompkins, has a storied history dating back to its 1906 construction. The property experienced significant issues in early 2000, including a fire incident that led to various building violations (now resolved), requiring repairs to address multiple safety concerns such as security bars, window glass, electrical work, and heating systems.

The building underwent several renovations in 2003-2004, including electrical service upgrades, plumbing work, and various interior repairs, though some initial permits from this period expired. More recently, in late 2020, the property underwent comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling, including associated electrical and plumbing work, totaling approximately $40,000, with these permits successfully completed. The building currently shows no active building violations or major structural concerns. The property has had some recurring maintenance issues over the years, with several complaints and service requests regarding basic amenities and infrastructure.

These include concerns about heating, windows, and various plumbing issues, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s. More recently, there have been consistent reports of sidewalk cleanliness issues in 2023-2024, primarily related to waste management, though these are external to the building itself and handled by city services. The most recent inspections and permits suggest improved maintenance and compliance, with no current building violations on record. The most significant historical concern was the 2000 fire damage incident, which was fully addressed by July 2003, as evidenced by the final inspections and completion of related repairs.
