20-22 Elgin Park, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 20-22 Elgin Park is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, currently owned by Dean Kenneth. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, including two major roofing projects: a $17,800 roof reinforcement and deck repair in 2007, followed by an $8,800 reroofing project in 2021 using modified bitumen. In 2005, voluntary foundation upgrades were completed at a cost of $5,000, and in 2013 both street space usage and plumbing improvements (house trap and building sewer replacement) were completed.

However, a recent investigation filed in March 2024 has raised concerns about potentially misrepresented modifications, specifically regarding an allegedly unauthorized roof deck and penthouse stair structure that was not properly documented in building records, though this structure appears in aerial imagery and real estate listings from late 2021. The building's history includes various safety and maintenance issues dating back to the 1990s, primarily focusing on inadequate handrails and safety concerns for front and back stairs, though most of these earlier violations have been resolved. More recent complaints in 2024-2025 have primarily concerned street-level issues such as garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity of the property.

A planning record from 2023 indicates ongoing efforts to legalize the disputed roof deck and stair penthouse structure. There was one notable tenant buyout in the vicinity (at 18 Elgin Park) in 2019, involving two tenants and a compensation amount of $30,000. The property has also experienced multiple infrastructure issues recently, including streetlight problems and maintenance needs in late 2024, which have been generally resolved through appropriate channels.
