2737 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2737 22nd Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Juan Pablo Vega Maldonado, has a significant history of permit modifications, violations, and maintenance issues since its construction in 1905. The most recent major improvement was the installation of a solar PV system in 2017 (completed), while earlier modifications included vinyl siding installations in 1988 and 1996, and a reroofing project in 1993. Of particular concern are two active violations from 2017 regarding unauthorized modifications to the ground floor/garage area, which has allegedly been converted into an illegal dwelling unit with kitchen and bathroom facilities.

These modifications have triggered numerous safety and code compliance issues, including improper egress, lack of required fire-resistant materials, unapproved wiring and plumbing, missing smoke detectors, and absence of an approved permanent heating source. The building has also experienced persistent maintenance problems, with complaints about water intrusion, plumbing issues, and heat problems dating back to 2001, though these earlier violations have been marked as not active. The property has generated recent enforcement activity primarily related to parking issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk blocking between 2020 and 2024.

There have also been two instances of graffiti in 2021 that were resolved through city services. Regular cleaning and maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, showing ongoing attention to the building's exterior environment. The combined history of unauthorized modifications, safety violations, and maintenance issues suggests a pattern of building code non-compliance that has persisted over the years, with limited recent improvements to address these concerns.
