1626-1628 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1626-1628 Folsom Street, constructed in 1906 and containing 3 units with a ground-level store, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple safety inspections over the past few decades. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2017-2018, involving kitchen renovations, window replacements, and various interior improvements, though this work attracted multiple complaints about unauthorized construction activities and unpermitted work.

During this period, there were also several construction-related noise complaints from neighbors in January 2018. The property has had consistent maintenance attention, including a completed reroofing project in 2008 costing $11,000. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety-related incidents, particularly in 2017 when multiple fire code violations were documented, including issues with the sprinkler/standpipe systems, alarm systems, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though most of these were later resolved.

More recent history shows a pattern of urban challenges typical for the South of Market neighborhood, including graffiti incidents (most recently in 2024), and several complaints regarding bicycle lane blockages recorded in 2023. Recent utility-related concerns include a water leak incident in late 2023, which was determined to be the property owner's responsibility. The property has also seen some general maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by 311 calls for garbage/debris removal and various public service requests between 2023 and 2024.
