2865-2869 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2865-2869 23rd Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1904 and currently owned by Bernardo & Judith A Carrasco, this building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2023 involving the replacement of multiple wall furnaces. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water damage and structural concerns, particularly around 2014 when multiple complaints and violations were documented regarding water damage, leaks, and black mold in the rear building.

During this period, several municipal violations were issued related to stairs, decks, lighting, and water drainage systems, though these were ultimately abated by April 2014. The property has seen various structural improvements, including window replacements (2016), a new locked storage room (2015), and necessary repairs to address dry rot in the rear exterior staircase and redwood deck (2013). Historical records indicate earlier structural maintenance was required, including repairs to studs and mudsills in 2002 due to dry rot.

More recent concerns have centered around heating systems, with three wall furnace replacements documented in May 2023. The building has experienced occasional enforcement actions for unauthorized work, with complaints filed in 2016 and 2015 regarding unpermitted work in the basement and garage areas, though these complaints are no longer active. A proposed deck legalization project was disapproved by planning authorities for encroaching into the required rear yard depth, though prior attempts to install the deck had been completed. The property's location has seen typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, primarily concerning street cleaning and graffiti, though these are external to the building's structural and habitability concerns.
