119-121 Freelon St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 119-121 Freelon Street in the South of Market neighborhood was built in 1908 and is currently owned by Eileen M. and Darryl L. Tillman. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years.

Most recently, in 2017, four windows were replaced with energy-efficient units, though they were not visible from the street. The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, including a major renovation in 2012 that involved kitchen cabinet replacements, water heater upgrades, and necessary compliance work. A notable cluster of violations occurred in 2011-2012, involving handrail requirements, weather-proofing, lead paint concerns, and building permits. The property has experienced multiple unpermitted construction-related complaints, particularly in 2014 and 2019, suggesting some ongoing challenges with compliance.

Structural and maintenance issues have been addressed over time, including dry rot repair in 2008, though a 2013 complaint about a deteriorating brick foundation raised concerns about building stability. Recent activity at the property includes various 311 calls primarily related to street and sidewalk issues rather than building-specific problems, with the most recent being for garbage and debris in 2024. The building received a fire-related complaint in 2013 regarding blocked exits, though this was determined to have no merit. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the completion of multiple permits, though some historical violations and complaints indicate past safety and maintenance concerns.
