2812-2816 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit residential building at 2812-2816 21st Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Kia Ventures LLC, has undergone numerous significant improvements since 2021, following a period of maintenance issues in 2016-2018. The property, built in 1910, experienced serious maintenance problems in 2016, with documented complaints about water intrusion, plumbing leaks, damaged walls, and excessive garbage, though these violations were eventually abated in April 2021. Recent major work includes window waterproofing and trim replacement at the rear of the building (2024), multiple window improvements (2023), conversion of spaces on the second floor (2022), re-roofing (2021), and the installation of a fire alarm system (2021).

The building's electrical and plumbing systems received significant upgrades in 2018-2021, including complete rewiring and furnace replacements for multiple units. The property's history shows a pattern of routine maintenance issues, with complaints about heating (2005, 2012), and various housing code violations. A tenant buyout occurred in 2017 involving $100,000 and four tenants.

In 2019-2020, several street space permits were issued, and there have been occasional reports of garbage and debris issues near the property. The most recent works suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the building, with multiple permits issued in 2023-2024 for various improvements. While the building had significant issues in 2016, the structural, electrical, and plumbing upgrades completed in 2018-2024 demonstrate efforts to address past deficiencies, though the presence of several recent window-related permits suggests ongoing maintenance work.
