1353-1357 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 1353-1357 Folsom Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by San Francisco Community Land Trust. The building underwent significant improvements in 2017, including a voluntary garage slab retrofit ($35,000), electrical rewiring, and multiple plumbing upgrades. These renovations perhaps addressed some of the building's previous maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent work in 2024 with the installation of a heat pump water heater.

The building had several urgent repairs documented in 2015-2016, including issues with windows, walls, and plumbing, which were addressed through various permits totaling over $50,000 in improvements. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, with multiple housing inspection complaints between 2001 and 2016. These included issues with heating, water damage, mold, and structural concerns, though all violations were officially abated by December 2017.

Recent maintenance records show active management of building systems, including three sewage-related incidents in 2023. The building underwent various infrastructure improvements, including window replacements, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and garage updates. Planning records from 2023 note the establishment of a Cottage Food Operation (The Cookie Senyora) at the address, indicating some commercial use has been permitted alongside residential occupancy. Recent complaints (2024) primarily relate to street conditions and sewer issues outside the building, suggesting that while the interior improvements have addressed many historical problems, external factors remain a concern.
