157-159 San Carlos St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 157-159 San Carlos Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Wei Jim C, has a long history dating back to its 1907 construction. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements, most notably in 2000 when a new second-floor deck was installed, replacing an existing structure.

This deck replacement followed earlier repair attempts in 1999 and was part of a series of deck-related renovations documented through various permits. In 2008, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple safety concerns, including stair repairs, security issues with exit doors, fire safety violations, and egress obstructions, though all these violations were abated by February 2008. More recent history shows a complaint in 2012 regarding unauthorized interior construction work, including window replacements, though this was quickly resolved within two days.

The building was also subject to a serious set of complaints in 1995 that highlighted numerous maintenance and safety issues, including problems with plumbing, electrical systems, security, and pest infestations, which were marked as active in the records. Recent municipal service calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues outside the building, including reports of waste and debris, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The most recent permit activity on record shows several street space and sidewalk repair permits from 2000-2009, with one sidewalk repair permit from 2009 costing $1.00.
