535-539 Minna St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 26-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 535-539 Minna Street in the South of Market neighborhood was constructed in 2000 and currently managed by Minna Park Housing Partners. The building's history shows several significant safety and maintenance concerns in recent years, including a current open violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. There have been recurring issues with the boiler permit renewals, with complaints filed in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024.

Several important infrastructure improvements were made during construction in 1998-2000, including the installation of fire sprinkler systems and alarms, though the building has experienced ongoing issues with mold as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2017 and 2024. Recent maintenance concerns include a kitchen floor issue reported in January 2023, problems with the intercom system and building entry lock noted by residents with disabilities in early 2023, and a 2024 complaint regarding mold growth in the parking garage. The building has a documented history of fire safety system activations, though these have typically been for non-fire related reasons such as system malfunctions and false alarms.

Completed building permits include the construction of a mini-park with play structures and climbing facilities in 2000, while several recent building violations from 2017-2018 were addressed and abated. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris, sidewalk defects, and other concerns. While most previous violations and complaints have been resolved, the recurring nature of certain issues, such as boiler permit compliance and mold growth, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
