47-49 Elgin Park, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 47-49 Elgin Park in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, owned by the Karcich Family Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most concerning recent incident being a blocked exits fire safety violation in April 2022 that was corrected within ten days. The building, constructed in 1907, experienced significant documented problems in 2008, including a water leak through a bathroom ceiling, multiple interior surface violations related to lead paint hazards, security concerns including the need for primary locking devices at exterior doors, and problems with egress obstruction.

In 2003, the property had issues with rear stairs requiring repairs and peeling paint on the rear of the structure, which were addressed by the replacement of stair treads and railings. Two roofing permits from 2002 valued at $3,400 each are on record, though these permits expired. The property is currently experiencing ongoing external maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls in late 2024, with repeat reports of garbage, debris, and yard waste on the property, though these external issues were primarily street and sidewalk-related rather than building-specific.

Between November 2024 and December 2024, there have been at least eight reports of garbage and debris issues, with some cases being resolved and others showing no work needed. The building's documented history suggests periodic attention to maintenance issues, though there were multiple violations noted in both 2003 and 2008 that indicate previous concerns about prompt response to maintenance needs. While some recent 311 calls suggest ongoing external maintenance challenges, these appear to be primarily related to street cleaning rather than building-specific issues.
