997-999 Tennessee St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 997-999 Tennessee Street, owned by Paul Zingaro and Channon Cons, has a significant history of building maintenance and safety concerns dating back to its construction in 1900. The most recent major exterior work involved the replacement of two garage doors in 2021, while earlier maintenance included front parapet shingle repairs in 2004 and a foundation replacement along the left side in 2002 (though this permit expired).

More critically, the building has experienced numerous fire safety issues in recent years, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2018 and 2024, including two violations issued in September 2024 regarding ERRCS permits. The fire alarm system has shown persistent problems, with violations and false alarms recorded between 2009 and 2024, though most were resolved promptly. The property has faced ongoing challenges with its immediate surroundings, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, garbage and debris, and homeless encampments near the property.

There have been two documented instances of collapsed sidewalk issues in late 2024, and several garbage-related complaints, including a missed collection in December 2024. While the building's fire safety systems have required frequent attention, it is worth noting that no civilian injuries have been reported in any of the documented fire incidents or alarms. The property's recent history shows a pattern of addressing maintenance issues as they arise, though some structural concerns from previous decades remain on record.
