2746 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2746 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district, owned by Chris Tower, is a 1879 structure that has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. The property has seen substantial recent investment in unit upgrades, including a $92,000 renovation in 2017 of the lower residential unit (Unit A) involving interior reconfiguration and window replacement, followed by additional improvements including a three-zone ductless mini-split heat pump installation in 2019 and front stairs repairs in 2018 costing $6,000. The building's systems have been substantially modernized, with complete rewiring of the lower unit in 2018 and an electrical service upgrade to 200amps with three meters completed in 2004.

The property has experienced several building violations and complaints, particularly in the early 2000s, including security and fire safety issues that were resolved by January 2017. These violations involved requirements for fire extinguishers, self-closing doors, security viewers, and stair repairs. A routine safety inspection in 2016 also identified additional required improvements.

More recent issues have primarily been related to parking and street conditions, with multiple reports of blocked bicycle lanes and driveway access. The building underwent a significant period of tenant turnover during 2016-2018, with three documented tenant buyouts totaling $216,880, including one for $136,880 in August 2018. The most recent maintenance issues noted include a sewage backup incident in May 2022, though this was resolved promptly. The property has been regularly maintained since the resolution of earlier violations, with ongoing attention to both interior unit modernization and exterior maintenance requirements.
