1738-1744 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1738-1744 Mission Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1907, currently operated by Neighborhood Housing Renewa, contains 5 units. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with stairways, as evidenced by repairs in 2022 (cost: $1,000) and 2007 (cost: $3,000) to address dry rot conditions. A cluster of building violations was recorded in 2017, including problems with walls, fire escape ladder maintenance, smoke detector compliance, floor coverings, window frames, and mold/mildew on walls, all of which were abated by November 2017.

More recent issues include a 2022 complaint about bathroom mold and kitchen sinking, along with heating problems in unit 1740A, and a 2024 issue regarding a leaking back door that was resolved within two months. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various infrastructure needs, including a 2023 furnace replacement in unit 1746, stair repairs, window replacements, and roof work completed in the 1990s. However, there have been several patterns of interior issues requiring attention, particularly concerning floors, walls, and windows.

The property also experienced a fire code violation in 2009, though it was subsequently closed. Current planning records show multiple past CDBG housing site acquisition requests, indicating some level of governmental interest in the property. While the building has undergone numerous repairs and maintenance work over the years, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly stairway maintenance and interior surface problems, suggests ongoing building upkeep challenges. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti and street maintenance, rather than building-specific concerns.
