1106-1108 Potrero Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1106-1108 Potrero Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission, currently owned by Kenichiro Goto and built in 1900. The building experienced a significant fire incident in 2014 that required substantial repairs, including fire damage remediation and interior remodeling of all three units (Unit 1106A, 1106B, and 1108), totaling approximately $125,000. This incident also necessitated comprehensive electrical rewiring and plumbing updates throughout the building, with new installations including plugs, lighting, switches, and kitchen appliances.

Prior to the fire, the building had recurring issues with exterior safety features, particularly the rear staircase, which underwent multiple repairs and upgrades between 2003 and 2014 to address safety violations. These included dry rot repairs, compliance with notice of violation requirements, and a $3,000 repair project in 2013. The building's maintenance history shows appropriate attention to major systems, including gas line relocation work in 2017, sewer line replacement in 2010, and heating system upgrades in 1995.

However, there is currently an active complaint (filed in December 2024) regarding lead paint hazards, with associated violations for peeling paint and lead hazard warnings. The property has experienced periods of vacancy and deterioration, particularly in mid-2014 when it was reported as a boarded-up dwelling with security concerns. Multiple 311 calls in 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance issues, particularly related to graffiti and public works concerns, while a motor vehicle/pedestrian incident occurred near the property. The building's recent history requires attention to address the current lead paint violations, and there may be questions about the current unit configuration, as historical records show discrepancies between the permitted and actual number of units.
