82-84 Woodward St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-unit residential building at 82-84 Woodward Street, built in 1912, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over its recent history. Most notably, in December 2023, structural enhancements were completed involving middle beam strengthening and related footings at the first/garage level, costing $35,000. In 2018, the property required substantial repairs following multiple violations, including structural hazards, lead paint issues, and various interior maintenance needs.

These violations, documented in complaints from May 2018, were resolved by August 2018 through several permits totaling over $52,000 for various repairs, including electrical corrections, plumbing upgrades (installation of two 40-gallon water heaters), and addressing issues with handrails, stairs, floors, and siding. The building's electrical system received a significant upgrade in 2014, with a 100-amp meter/main upgrade and additional improvements. The property has experienced some concerning issues in recent years, including a 2018 complaint of water intrusion, pest problems, and structural concerns in Unit 84. While these problems were addressed according to housing inspection records, their occurrence indicates past maintenance challenges.

More recent developments include multiple reports of garbage and debris (including several abandoned Christmas trees) near the property in early 2025, though these were street cleaning issues rather than building maintenance concerns. The building has had three fire-related incidents on record, but fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. A notable tenant buyout occurred in September 2020, with two tenants receiving $75,000 in relocation assistance. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since addressing the 2018 violations, though the presence of multiple recent 311 calls about near-property issues suggests ongoing neighborhood challenges.
