993 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

993 South Van Ness Ave is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Henry Brazer. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with major work completed in 2022-2023 including a reroofing project completed in November 2023 costing $15,550, comprehensive unit remodels in Units 1 and 2, and significant electrical upgrades including new subpanels for each unit.

The building experienced several serious issues in early 2021, leading to multiple building violations including inadequate exits, illegal construction of new bathrooms and kitchens, general dilapidation, and various maintenance issues, all of which were abated by November 2021. A sewer lateral replacement was completed in July 2020, and the electrical system received substantial upgrades in 2021-2022 with the installation of new panels and circuits across all units, including a new 200A main panel for the building. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned noise complaints and issues with garbage and debris, though these may primarily relate to exterior conditions.

The property is reportedly in the process of pursuing Mills Act application under the California historical building program, as indicated by a submitted request for PRV (Preliminary Review for a Planning Application). Both plumbing and electrical permits show recent activity, with only one plumbing permit currently showing as expired (December 2023) while earlier permits from 2022 and 2020 were completed successfully. The property underwent routine housing inspections in 2008 and 2015, and there are no active building complaints or violations on record as of now, suggesting that recent renovations have brought the building up to code compliance.
