20-22 Ringold St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 20-22 Ringold Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1909 and currently owned by Ab San Francisco Llc, has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. Most notably, in 2018, the property received a $10,000 rear stair renovation with deck additions on the second and third floors, and previously in 2015-2016, it underwent substantial improvements including a kitchen and bathroom remodel (valued at $60,000), window replacements, electrical upgrades including a change from overhead to underground service, and plumbing work involving a gas wall furnace installation and water heater replacement.

The building's safety and maintenance history shows attention to building systems, with completed permits for window replacements, stair renovations, and various infrastructure improvements. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations, most of which were unintentional or due to system malfunctions, with one documented cooking-related incident that was contained and resulted in no injuries. Historical records from 1997 indicate a concerning incident involving rear steps, although there have been no similar complaints in recent years.

A routine safety inspection in 2007 showed no active violations. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily concern external issues such as garbage and debris on the sidewalk, with multiple reports of human waste/urine and furniture on the property, which are currently marked as open or in progress. While the building itself appears to be well-maintained based on the permit history, the surrounding area has experienced some sanitation challenges as evidenced by recent 311 reports.
