75 Dore St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 98-unit apartment building at 75 Dore Street in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood, constructed in 2005, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering on heating system problems. Two separate heating complaints were filed in late 2024, including reports of inadequate heat output and a malfunctioning heater that remains continuously on.

The building has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades, including a 2020 project for accessible apartment upgrades, new common area heating, and life safety improvements, along with more recent work in 2022 involving backflow device replacement. There have been multiple heating-related complaints from tenants between 2021 and 2024, including issues with heating maintenance, bathroom ventilation, and radiator concerns. The building's maintenance history shows attention to fire safety systems, with regular upgrades and inspections, including a fire system replacement in 2016 and various fire alarm-related complaints that were generally resolved promptly.

Numerous housing violation notices have been issued over the years, including issues with window hardware, floor covering, security devices, and general dilapidation, though most of these violations have been closed. Recent tenant complaints from 2021-2024 have also mentioned issues such as a leaking refrigerator, mold concerns, and a flooding toilet in 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's management has responded to these issues through various permits and repairs, but some recurring problems, particularly related to heating, suggest systematic maintenance concerns.
