49-51 Albion St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 49-51 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, owned by the Pigman Family Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the years. The most recent major work was completed in 2015, including a comprehensive 2013-2014 plumbing and electrical upgrade project valued at $160,000, which involved remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, and installing new plumbing fixtures throughout the building. The property has experienced multiple code violations and complaints, most notably in 2017 when issues regarding smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers were identified and subsequently abated.

Earlier concerns included a 2014 plumbing issue involving flood damage, and a 2012 complaint about exposed wiring, lack of heat, and plumbing problems. Historical improvements include a hydronic heat system installation in 2009 and various plumbing upgrades, though some permits from this period expired without completion notices. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to upgrading systems, with electrical rewiring and safety improvements being addressed regularly.

There have been several tenant buyout incidents recorded in November 2020, affecting eight tenants at both 49 and 51 Albion Street, each receiving $13,340. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 indicate typical urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning needs and waste management concerns, but there have been no major complaints or violations reported in the past six years. The property has undergone routine housing inspections, and while there were some serious violations noted in 2003 regarding lead paint hazards and general maintenance issues, these were addressed in subsequent years. Two fire complaints from 2005 and 2013 were resolved with conditions corrected, suggesting appropriate response to safety concerns.
