2391-2393 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2391-2393 Mission Street, built in 1900 and currently owned by Jsr Karp 5 Ltd Partnership, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, between February and March 2024, there were concerning events including unsafe roofing work that caused a fire incident, indicating lack of proper safety measures and supervision (e.g., missing fire extinguishers, proper water access) during construction, roof tiles falling onto the sidewalk, and issues related to fire-damaged walls.

These events coincided with complaints about roof disrepair and mold problems affecting tenant health, which were reportedly documented with time-stamped evidence. The building has also undergone several major changes and repairs in recent years, including reroofing completed in February 2024 at a cost of $25,000, wood siding replacement, window repairs, and interior modifications to comply with various notices of violation. The property has a history of violations requiring remediation, particularly in 2016 when multiple building code issues were identified, including problems with windows, walls, handrails, floor coverings, lighting fixtures, and water damage - all of which were abated by September 2016.

More recent concerns include complaints about illegal change of use in 2024, suggesting the building may have been operating beyond its permitted purpose as a multi-family residential structure. The ground floor space was converted from business retail to an art gallery, and there have been recurring issues related to place of assembly use that sparked multiple fire complaints between 2006 and 2024, with varying dispositions including both merit and no merit findings. Recent construction activity has generated numerous service requests regarding garbage, debris, and sidewalk conditions, indicating possible ongoing maintenance and waste management challenges.
