68 Ringold St, San Francisco, CA 94103

68 Ringold Street is a multi-family residential building located in the South of Market neighborhood. Built in 1906, this property consists of three units and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The building's most significant historical issue occurred in 2008 when unauthorized remodeling work was reported, leading to multiple Notices of Violation (NOV) and permit complications that persisted until 2014.

The violation centered around unpermitted modifications to the 5-unit building, including unauthorized changes to the lower level, electrical, and plumbing systems. This situation resulted in several permits being issued and subsequently renewed through 2011-2013, with final inspections eventually completed in 2013. Recent improvements to the property include a significant electrical upgrade in 2017, transitioning from overhead to underground electrical service (though this permit has since expired).

The building has undergone some interior modifications, including the removal of kitchen sinks for storage purposes in 2013, and the installation of additional electrical infrastructure in 2013. More recently, there has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues near the property, with multiple citations issued between December 2024 and January 2025 for sidewalk parking violations, though most responses were unable to locate the offending vehicles. There were also reports of garbage and debris issues near the property in December 2024, with some cases requiring attention from City services.
