2643-2647 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 7-unit multi-family residential building at 2643-2647 21st Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Steven & Michelle Mesita, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1908. Most recently, in February 2024, the building underwent re-roofing work costing $21,500, representing the latest investment in building maintenance. The property has faced several significant compliance challenges, particularly regarding seismic safety, with a notable violation in 2017 related to the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program.

Although this violation was eventually abated in 2019, it indicates a period of non-compliance with critical earthquake safety requirements. The building has also experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, including a broken house trap violation in 2014 (abated by 2015), and a fire safety violation in 2015 regarding egress obstruction from back stairs (abated in 2019). Periodic improvements have been made to the building, including multiple installations of vinyl windows between 2002 and 2005, and a sewer trap repair in 2014.

More recent records from 2023-2024 show ongoing maintenance of public areas around the building, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and defaced signs being addressed by city services. The property's location has also been affected by infrastructure work, as evidenced by planning records for a water main replacement project in the vicinity. While the building has had its share of violations and maintenance challenges, most have been addressed, though the historical pattern suggests ongoing attention to building systems and compliance matters is necessary.
