2236-2242 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 2236-2242 18th Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Sw Properties LLC, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past decades. The building received major infrastructure improvements between 2009-2011, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade (2010), water heater replacements (2011), and multiple roofing projects, the most recent in 2014 costing $8,000. Of particular concern is a recent (2024) complaint regarding multiple maintenance and safety issues, including problems with heating, door security, and a malfunctioning dryer, as well as an earlier (2019) violation for unauthorized foundation work.

The building has experienced recurring heating system problems, with documented complaints in 2010 and 2011, and most recently in June 2024. Historical records show various improvements including vinyl siding installation (1995), and stair repairs (1983), demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts. The property has undergone several safety inspections and faced various violations, though many have been resolved.

A notable sequence of violations in 2011 regarding heating and fire safety requirements was abated in February 2011. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing environmental maintenance issues near the property, including reports of garbage, debris, and urban forestry concerns. While many historical violations have been resolved, the recent (2024) complaints about heating and general maintenance suggest continuing challenges with building systems and resident comfort. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance pattern, including multiple roofing projects and major system upgrades, indicating some level of ongoing investment in building upkeep.
