256-258 Connecticut St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 256-258 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Karen Neipp Toland Tr Of 20. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent being a complete reroofing project completed in October 2023 at a cost of $32,000. The building experienced recurring plumbing issues between 2006 and 2012, with multiple documented sewage leaks affecting both units and the adjoining property at 250 Connecticut Street.

These incidents included complaints about leaking waste lines, water seeping into walls, and sewage backup issues in 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2012. In 2018, the property underwent substantial renovations including a bathroom remodel and laundry facilities upgrade, electrical system improvements (adding new outlets and updating panels), and plumbing modifications, which were completed successfully. The building has had several other maintenance activities, including back stairs repairs in 2006, and there were some safety and compliance issues noted in 2010 related to security requirements and window hardware, though these violations were subsequently addressed.

More recently, the property has had some parking-related issues with vehicles blocking driveways, as documented in 311 calls, but these are typical urban inconveniences rather than building-specific problems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing major systems and infrastructure over time, with particular attention to roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems. Of note is the significant investment in the recent reroofing project, which suggests ongoing commitment to building maintenance and improvement. While there have been historical plumbing issues, particularly between 2006-2012, there have been no documented plumbing violations or complaints in recent years, indicating this specific concern may have been resolved through the 2018 renovations.
