884-886 14th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 884-886 14th Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Linda Steinhoff Holmes. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its plumbing and electrical systems, evidenced by several tenant complaints and violations between 2019-2020. Notable plumbing problems included multiple water leaks, water heater installation issues, and concerns about water quality (milky white water) reported by tenants.

The building underwent significant code compliance work in 2016-2017, addressing multiple violations including inadequate lighting, egress obstructions, water damage, window repairs, and rear stair repairs, with the installation of handrails and other minor maintenance work costing approximately $5,000. Earlier building improvements included reroofing in 2005 ($9,650), stair repairs in 2002 ($6,000), and the installation of vinyl siding in 1987. The building has experienced several fire department responses, though none resulted in significant incidents or injuries; most were for alarm system malfunctions, detector activations, or service calls.

A building fire occurred at one point, but was determined to be unintentional with no civilian injuries reported. Recent external issues near the property have included reports of graffiti, sidewalk cleaning needs, and other urban maintenance matters, though these are typical for the area and not directly related to building conditions. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, though many violations have been addressed through permitted work. Recent complaints about floor conditions and 2023 graffiti incidents indicate that some maintenance issues may persist, though specific resolution status for these concerns is not clearly documented.
