847-851 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 847-851 Alabama Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission District, owned by Olaf Golubjatnikov, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1907. The most significant recent building improvements occurred in 2004, when substantial work was performed including foundation repairs in the rear section of the building (849 & 851), bathroom additions, and kitchen remodeling in units 851 and 851-A, with associated electrical upgrades.

The building experienced a fire incident in 1993 that required repairs to plaster, sheet rock, framing, and painting. More recent years have seen multiple maintenance issues, including a concerning 2013 complaint about broken front stairs, unsafe electrical wiring, problematic water quality, and inadequate hot water supply, though these issues were marked as "Not Active." Routine housing inspections were conducted in 2014, 2011, and 2001, with varying degrees of enforcement resolution.

The property has shown ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and waste management in recent months, as evidenced by frequent 311 calls between October 2024 and January 2025 reporting abandoned furniture, debris, and parking violations in the vicinity, with multiple cases involving mattresses, garbage, and blocked driveways being resolved through enforcement action. The building's fire safety systems were tested with one recorded smoke detector activation incident (with no fire or injuries) during the period covered by the available data. Notably, there was a tenant buyout recorded on November 3, 2023, for the adjacent address (835 Alabama Street) involving three tenants and a payment of $102,000, though this is for a separate property.
