2623 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 2623 Folsom Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood and owned by Efrain & Margarit Rodriguez, has a century-long history as a flats and duplex structure dating back to 1900. Significant modifications occurred in the early 1990s when attempts were made to combine the 2nd and 3rd floors into a single dwelling unit and legalize a basement dwelling, leading to the demolition of illegal bathroom and kitchen facilities. These permits from 1992 and associated sheetrock work in 1993 have since expired.

In 2004, the property underwent an electrical upgrade with a completed 150-amp underground conversion. The building has experienced several troubling incidents over its history, particularly in the early 2000s, including a sewage backup with damage to carpets in February 2004, heating issues, and a flooding incident that caused property damage, though most of these complaints were subsequently resolved. A notable complaint from 1998 regarding overcrowding reported 15 occupants in the middle and top apartments.

More recent concerns have primarily involved external issues, including a 2012 complaint about inadequate containment during exterior painting. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in the past few years, with the most recent activity focusing on neighborhood concerns such as noise, abandoned vehicles, and sidewalk space usage. Of particular note is the ongoing situation regarding amplified sound reported in June 2024, and a Shared Spaces violation concerning diverters at the sidewalk reported in August 2023, both of which remain unresolved as of the current date.
