41-43 Langton St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-story multi-family residential building at 41-43 Langton Street, owned by Patel Enterprises LP, was constructed in 1908 and contains four units. The property has a significant history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2023-2024, when multiple fire code violations were documented, including issues with sleeping area requirements, sprinkler systems, and blocked exits. Recent complaints also indicated problems with fire extinguisher maintenance and other safety systems, though many of these violations were subsequently corrected.

The building's historical maintenance record shows various improvements, including HVAC system installations in the 1990s and structural repairs in 2005 when support posts were replaced following a complaint. A series of building violations from 2003-2010 highlighted various safety concerns, including fire extinguisher requirements, weatherproofing issues, and lead paint hazards, all of which were eventually abated. In early 2025, there have been several 311 calls regarding the property, primarily related to garbage and debris removal, and public space maintenance issues near the building.

A significant recent complaint filed in February 2024 cited multiple fire code violations and safety concerns, including fire escape obstructions and roof structure issues, though these were recorded under a different adjacent property address (240 7th Street). While the building has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, the recent cluster of fire safety violations in 2023-2024 indicates ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. A proposed development project from 2023-2024 suggested a potential large-scale redevelopment of the site, though the status of this proposal is currently listed as Closed - Withdrawn.
