2512-2516 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located at 2512-2516 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, built in 1900, has undergone several significant repairs and renovations over the past two decades. In recent years, the building has faced multiple resident-reported issues, with the most concerning being an active complaint from March 2023 regarding an alleged illegal unit in the back of the property.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including a 2017 complaint about several issues such as non-functional appliances, including a microwave, plumbing concerns, and handrail problems, which were subsequently addressed through various permits. Major renovations occurred in 2010 when the building underwent substantial work to replace front elevation windows, repair hazardous wiring, install smoke detectors, and address multiple safety concerns, following earlier violations from 2004 concerning handrails, stairs, and combustible storage. The property has seen consistent maintenance and upgrading of systems, including electrical improvements such as a new 200-amp underground conversion service installed in 2005 and various plumbing repairs, including work on leaks in the lightwell (2017) and a significant sewer pipe issue reported in 2016.

In 2023, there were also concerns about trash management on the sidewalk and curb, though this complaint was recorded as not active. Recent violations have primarily focused on building safety features such as handrails, with the most recent building-related complaint being logged in September 2023 regarding debris and garbage issues. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations promptly, with most being marked as resolved within reasonable timeframes, though some concerns like the alleged illegal unit from 2023 remain active as of the last review.
