1166-1168 Potrero Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1166-1168 Potrero Ave in the Inner Mission, owned by Jiang Jing Min and constructed in 1904, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges over the past few decades. The building has received various maintenance and upgrade work, including a roof replacement in 1997, sewer line and house trap replacement in 2010, and a recent window replacement project in 2019 involving six new aluminum-clad double-hung wood windows on the top floor facing Potrero Ave. The property has been subject to regular housing inspections, with routine inspections conducted in 1999, 2002, and 2011, though no active violations remain on record.

Of particular importance, the building experienced a cluster of fire safety violations in June 2007 related to fire extinguisher access and mounting requirements, though these were subsequently closed. More recent concerns have been largely related to exterior maintenance and street-level issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and graffiti. These exterior issues, while numerous, have generally been addressed promptly through official channels.

The property's most recent significant internal improvement, the 2019 window replacement, suggests ongoing investment in building maintenance and modernization. The building's overall maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing major system upgrades and responding to regulatory inspections, with no recent internal complaints or violations recorded. The report indicates that while the building has experienced periodic issues requiring attention, particularly regarding fire safety in the past and more recent exterior maintenance concerns, these have generally been resolved through appropriate channels. The recent history shows more focus on exterior maintenance rather than internal building issues, though the large number of recent 311 calls suggests some ongoing challenges with street-level conditions near the property.
