953-957 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 953-957 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district, owned by the Deborah C Cooper Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2020, the building was equipped with a 3.35 kW solar PV system with battery backup, demonstrating investment in sustainable energy. The building has seen substantial interior improvements, including a $75,000 partial renovation of a second-floor flat in 2006 that included structural upgrades and kitchen/bathroom renovations, and a $15,000 voluntary lateral strengthening of the rear sunroom in 2012.

Historical records show multiple improvements between 2000-2006, including window replacements, ceiling repairs, and flooring updates. The property experienced notable safety and compliance issues in 2003-2006, when it received several fire safety violations including problems with fire proofing, sprinkler systems, and fire extinguisher maintenance, along with security concerns regarding door locks and handrails. These violations were all abated by January 2006.

The building underwent routine inspections in 2003 and 2009, with a reported leak and mold issue in the bathroom ceiling in 2006. More recently, from 2021 through 2023, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and parking enforcement issues in the vicinity of the property, though these are not directly related to building conditions. While the building has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, all recorded violations have been resolved, and recent improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrades to the property.
