209 San Carlos St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 209 San Carlos Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Kaplan Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a reroofing in 1995 and various interior updates in 1986 involving kitchen and bathroom renovations. Recent fire safety inspections in late 2023 revealed violations related to sleeping area requirements, alarm systems, and sprinkler systems, though these issues have been documented as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit" in most cases.

The building has experienced multiple fire system activations since 2017, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector activations, all of which were determined to be without actual fire or hazardous conditions. The property has a documented history of garbage and debris issues in the surrounding area, with multiple reports between October 2024 and January 2025 regarding loose garbage and yard waste. A cluster of these complaints suggests ongoing sanitation challenges in the vicinity.

Additionally, there was a notable encampment report in November 2024, though the individuals could not be located. Historical records show that the lot was subject to a variance process to legalize a subdivision from 1950, which was ultimately approved. The building's maintenance history includes various fire safety violations dating back to 2017, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, blocked exits, and general hazardous materials concerns, though many of these have been subsequently corrected or closed. The most recent tenant buyout on record occurred in January 2017, involving two tenants with a compensation amount of $40,000.
