2104 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2104 Folsom Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1913, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over the years. Most notably, a $75,000 soft-story retrofit was successfully completed in 2017, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. Between 2014 and 2021, the building experienced recurring maintenance and habitability issues, including multiple complaints about heating systems, mold, and rodent infestations, with several units reporting problems such as damaged flooring, windows, and interior surfaces.

In 2014 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding heat issues, mold, and general disrepair in various units. The building underwent various repairs during this period, including electrical upgrades (2004), plumbing work (2014), and multiple drywall and structural repairs. More recent concerns include a 2021 complaint about mice, mold, and damaged walls and ceiling, although this complaint is listed as not active. The property has maintained compliance with major safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit and various building safety improvements, including roof replacement (2001) and brick veneer repairs (1989).

However, there is currently an open complaint filed in January 2025 regarding excessive noise. The building's history includes multiple housing code violations, particularly in 2002 and 2014, which were subsequently abated. The property has also experienced recurring issues with interior surfaces, security requirements, and sanitation matters, though most of these violations were addressed through repairs and improvements. A significant lead paint hazard notification was issued in 2014, highlighting concerns about proper containment and safety procedures during maintenance work.
