1689-1693 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1689-1693 Folsom St, owned by the Navarro Family Living Trust, was constructed in 1906 and contains three units. The property has experienced several significant issues throughout its history, with the most concerning period occurring in 2013-2016.

This period saw multiple housing code violations that required attention, including issues with smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, egress obstruction, combustible storage, security, and improper occupancy. Notably, there were serious concerns in 2013 regarding illegal occupants, drug activity, and unsafe electrical connections, though these violations were ultimately abated by November 2016. More recent maintenance records show efforts to address building systems, including the removal of sanitary facilities in the basement in 2013 to comply with a notice of violation, and the repair of rear stairs in 2009.

The property has undergone regular advertising sign maintenance, with Clear Channel Outdoor performing necessary upkeep in 2011. Fire safety-related incidents have been recorded, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage, including several false alarms and one smoke scare in 2011. The building's recent history from 2024-2025 has primarily involved street-level issues, with 311 calls mainly reporting encampments and debris on the sidewalk, though these are external to the building itself and have been resolved by city services.
