261-263 Cumberland St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 261-263 Cumberland Street, owned by the Jean Adelaide Amos Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1906 and is located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent being an active violation from August 2021 regarding unpermitted construction of a roof deck and spiral stairwell, as well as unauthorized interior remodeling work.

This violation led to subsequent permitted work in late 2021 to remove the unauthorized roof deck and spiral stair, along with kitchen and bathroom renovations costing $28,000. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with stairs, including multiple repair permits for back stairs in 1997, 2011, and addressing dry rot concerns in 2011, which followed multiple building violations from 2001 regarding various maintenance issues including stair repairs, plumbing leaks, and fire safety concerns, all of which were abated by July 2001.

A shower valve and kitchen installation was completed in March 2022, though the nature of this work's relation to previous violations is unclear. The property has also had several external service calls recorded through 311, primarily relating to street cleaning, sidewalk issues, and occasional reports of abandoned vehicles nearby, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's condition or operations.
