75-79 Pearl St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 75-79 Pearl Street in Mission Dolores, built in 1907 and currently owned by 525 Howard LLC, has undergone several significant upgrades and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Recent improvements include a complete fire safety upgrade in 2021-2023, installation of 9 meters and a 200-amp service upgrade in 2011, and a building-wide water heater replacement in 2007.

Historical permits show major structural and cosmetic repairs were attempted in 2000, though one permit expired. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water-related problems, as evidenced by complaints about leaks and bathroom issues in 2011, 2005, and 1996. There were also multiple safety and compliance violations noted in 2004 and 2023, including fire safety concerns and issues with common area maintenance.

The property's infrastructure improvements include a reroofing project in 2011 and electrical system upgrades, though there was a concerning complaint about illegal renovations in 2014 involving unpermitted modifications to electrical and plumbing systems. The building has maintained basic systems, with a history of addressing violations promptly, though some older issues remain, such as a 1997 complaint regarding gray water drainage that is still marked as active. Recent 311 calls from 2016-2020 primarily relate to external matters such as parking issues and sidewalk cleanliness, which don't directly affect the building's residential systems or safety.
