71-73 Rondel Pl, San Francisco, CA 94110

This two-unit multi-family residential building located at 71-73 Rondel Place in the Inner Mission, built in 1906, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced some concerning issues. Between 2019 and 2023, substantial improvements were made to the property, including basement excavation and structural upgrades ($120,000), water heater upgrades, and the addition of modern amenities such as a new washer/dryer system and forced air unit heating system.

However, several serious issues have emerged in the past year, including three building complaints filed in July-August 2023 regarding unauthorized construction of a kitchen, bedrooms, and shower in the basement, as well as multiple complaints about construction work and power tool usage affecting neighboring units. The property has also recently received fire safety violations in late 2024 regarding alarm systems and extinguishers, building upon a history of fire safety concerns including past violations related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and sleeping area requirements dating back to 2018.

While the building underwent significant renovation work in recent years, including foundation replacement and system upgrades, its history includes notable past issues from the mid-1990s regarding lack of heating, plumbing problems, and inadequate sanitation, though these appear to have been resolved. The property is currently under multiple monitoring matters as of 2025, with ongoing concerns about encampments and neighborhood maintenance issues.
