834-840 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 834-840 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Patricia J. Chu. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2009 (cost: $12,000), electrical panel replacement in 2010, and furnace installations in 2016.

A comprehensive electrical upgrade occurred in late 2004, replacing numerous circuits and installing new heaters throughout the building. However, the property experienced notable maintenance issues in August 2021, when multiple violations were filed regarding interior surfaces, including damaged walls, windows, floors, and plumbing fixtures, as well as concerns about lead paint hazards. These violations were officially abated by October 29, 2021. Earlier violations from 2003 and 2004 included plumbing issues and an unpermitted kitchen remodel that was eventually addressed in 2005-2012.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding the property's exterior environment, with multiple 311 calls in 2023 primarily related to sidewalk cleaning and garbage management, though these were generally resolved promptly. The most recent incident, recorded in November 2023, involves a damaged tree that was reported but remains open as of the current date. While the building has a history of maintenance challenges and violations, it's worth noting that most of these issues have been addressed through proper channels, often within reasonable timeframes, and there have been no new violations filed since 2021. The property's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrades to critical systems, including electrical, plumbing, and heating infrastructure.
