712 Tennessee St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 712 Tennessee Street, owned by Tennessee Street Housing Co, was constructed in 1924 and is currently facing several significant outstanding issues that affect resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there are multiple active housing violations filed in March 2023 related to water damage, mold/mildew, damaged interior surfaces, and handrail repairs, all stemming from what appears to be a water leak that affected multiple units.

Additionally, the building remains non-compliant with San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, with an active violation filed in 2019 regarding earthquake safety retrofit work that has not been properly completed, though some retrofitting attempts were filed in 2017. Recent maintenance work includes a completed roof replacement in November 2024 costing $16,000, though this appears to be separate from the earlier water damage issues. The building has a history of both routine inspections and specific violations dating back several years, with the most recent routine complaint in 2009 regarding fire escape maintenance.

More recent service calls (2022-2024) primarily relate to parking enforcement issues in the vicinity of the property, with multiple calls about illegal parking on the street. While some historical renovations are noted, including earthquake safety repairs in 1992 and various maintenance work in the 1990s and 2000s, the building currently requires attention to multiple safety and maintenance issues as evidenced by the active violations and complaints. The property is classified under San Francisco's tier 3 soft story program, indicating it is required to complete seismic retrofitting work that remains unfulfilled as of the most recent records.
