2722-2724 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2722-2724 Folsom Street is a three-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission and owned by Douglas Alan Greenberg. Built in 1896, this flats/duplex structure has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there has been ongoing controversy regarding unauthorized units, with recent permits (January 2025) related to the removal of an allegedly unauthorized ground floor unit and merging it with the remaining unit, as part of a settlement from case 21-cv-07724.

In 2018, the building experienced a kitchen fire in the ground floor unit that, while causing damage to walls and ceilings, reportedly did not affect the building's structure. The property underwent substantial renovations in 2020, including foundation work, window replacements, and electrical upgrades. More recent issues have centered around the front exterior stairs, which have generated multiple complaints regarding encroachment onto the sidewalk and tripping hazards, though these stairs were part of previously permitted work. A hoarding situation was reported and corrected in early 2021, and there have been various parking-related complaints in the vicinity of the property, with recent activity including multiple citations and inspections for parking violations.

The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance and improvement work, including plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2019 and 2021, though some of these projects faced permit complications. The property has undergone routine safety inspections, with several violations recorded and subsequently abated, particularly in 2018 regarding stairs and fire safety issues. Recent permits from early 2025 suggest ongoing administrative compliance matters, particularly related to the building's unit configuration and unauthorized modifications. The property has also been the subject of multiple 311 calls regarding various issues, primarily focused on parking enforcement and street space use, indicating possible ongoing challenges with street access and parking management around the property.
