1237 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1237 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, owned by 1215 Rhode Island Lp, is a two-story structure built in 1900. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with the most notable occurring in 2017 when multiple violations were filed regarding rotting stairs and deck repairs, which ultimately required legal intervention and were not fully resolved until December 2019.

Earlier maintenance concerns were documented in 2008 with front stairs issues, and in both 2004 and 1991, significant structural work was completed including retaining wall replacement, roofing, and window installations. The property has undergone multiple improvements, including kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1990-1991 and repairs to deck handrails in 2017 following a Notice of Violation. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations, waste cleanup, and rental inquiries, though these do not directly impact the building's condition.

While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and response to violations over time, the documented pattern of stair and deck-related issues raises some safety concerns. The most recent building permit activity related to repairs was completed in 2017, addressing previously cited safety concerns. The property has also experienced some neighborhood enforcement issues, including illegal postings and sidewalk parking, though these are citywide concerns not limited to this address.
