107-119 Kissling St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 107-119 Kissling Street, constructed in 1907, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2023, the building received multiple violations including concerns about lead-based paint, damaged ceilings, plumbing issues, security requirements related to locks, and a missing smoke detector. Earlier incidents in 2022 involved serious electrical problems, including exposed wiring, problematic dimmer switches, and a potentially dangerous smoke detector installation.

The building has a history of infrastructure challenges, with documented issues including mold and mildew (2007), bathroom and bedroom repairs (2007), and stair repairs (1994). There were also concerns about building slope affecting doorways (2014) and a water heater safety violation (2003). The property underwent some permit-related work in 2018 (street space), and previous violations from 2000 regarding fire safety were abated in 2002. The building's recent inspection history reveals ongoing maintenance concerns, with the most recent complaint indicating hazardous conditions including potential lead exposure, security issues, and structural maintenance needs.

Multiple 311 calls in 2024 have been filed regarding various issues, primarily parking-related concerns, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Historical planning records show an attempt to expand and improve the property by combining two buildings, adding units and parking, though this proposal was disapproved. The 2023-2024 period shows the most concentrated set of recent violations and complaints, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety concerns. While some past violations have been resolved, patterns of recurring issues in areas such as security, plumbing, and structural maintenance are evident throughout the building's history.
