945-947 Minnesota St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 1900 two-story multi-family residential building at 945-947 Minnesota St, currently owned by Reed F. Moulds and Aleena K., has undergone significant modifications and faced several regulatory challenges over recent years. Most notably, there are active complaints regarding the building's status as a potentially vacant or abandoned structure, with recent reports in August 2024 about deteriorating plastic sheathing affecting the property and concerns about construction safety due to surrounding scaffolding.

The building has been through multiple renovation phases, with substantial work planned including window replacements, siding updates, and deck construction, though several permits have faced revocation or require recommencement. A particularly contentious period occurred between 2022-2024, involving violations for exceeding approved work scope, particularly regarding rear building modifications and front stair reconstruction, leading to multiple Notices of Violation (NOV) and an upcoming director's hearing scheduled for May 2024. The property has a complex history of permitted and unpermitted work, with several permits filed for electrical, plumbing, and general building upgrades between 2017-2024, including furnace installations, electrical service upgrades, and various remodeling efforts.

Multiple complaints have been filed regarding unauthorized construction, including rear wall reframing and front stair modifications. The building's permit history shows attempts to comply with historical preservation requirements, though some work has drawn regulatory scrutiny for exceeding approved parameters. Most recently, there have been concerns about compliance with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, with related director hearings scheduled for early 2024. The property has undergone numerous utility upgrades, including plumbing modifications for new layouts and installation of new appliances across both units, though many of these permits are now expired.
