1267-1269 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 1267-1269 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1900, has undergone significant modifications and faced numerous challenges over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2024, the property completed the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system ($13,908) and associated electrical work, following earlier comprehensive safety upgrades including the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout the building in 2020 ($25,662) and structural improvements in 2023. The building's renovation history includes an ambitious 2015 permit for major facade restoration, new stairs, and additional floors, though this permit eventually expired.

Between 2021-2024, substantial plumbing work was completed, including the installation of new plumbing for multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, as well as a new radiant heating system. The electrical system was upgraded with a new 200-amp service and wiring work in 2021. The building has had a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly between 2002-2011, when it faced multiple violations regarding stair repairs, lead paint hazards, and vacant building status.

Notably, there were concerns about blight, boarded-up windows, and overgrown vegetation between 2012-2019. More recent complaints between 2020-2022 have primarily related to construction activities, including noise and dust concerns, though these issues have been marked as "Not Active" in the records. The property has been proactive in addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the recent completion of sprinkler system upgrades and other compliance work, though historical records show periods of significant maintenance challenges that required enforcement actions.
