1335 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 59-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 1335 Folsom St, owned by 1335 Folsom LLC, has been subject to significant regulatory scrutiny since its 2018 construction. Most recently, in February 2024, an internal audit led to active building violations regarding several unauthorized modifications, including changes to the Folsom St unit entry, incomplete exterior balcony stairs for ground floor units 101-105 on the Dore St side, an uninstalled sunshade structure on the level 6 balcony, and a roof deck that exceeds its approved size of 1,500 square feet.

The building has experienced recurrent fire safety-related incidents, though with no injuries reported; these include false alarms and several cooking-related incidents, with sprinkler/standpipe system issues reported and corrected in both 2018 and early 2023. The property has generated numerous building complaints and 311 calls regarding surrounding street conditions throughout 2024, primarily related to garbage, debris, and waste on public sidewalks, with multiple cases of human waste/urine recorded in the vicinity.

These environmental issues, while external to the building itself, may impact resident experience. The building has undergone various uses and modifications since construction, including a change of use to a full restaurant under Prop H and securing an ABC Type 41 license, though it is unclear how these commercial modifications relate to the residential units. The most pressing current concern remains the active building violations from February 2024, which note non-compliance with several original approvals and require resolution according to San Francisco Building Code provisions.
