2017-2021 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 3-unit residential building at 2017-2021 23rd Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Anastacios G Chilicas Revoc, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in August 2024, the property required both stair repairs and sewer lateral replacement.

The building has faced persistent exterior maintenance challenges, particularly regarding lead paint concerns, with multiple complaints from 2019 through 2023 documenting issues of peeling paint and weatherproofing problems. A series of violations were issued in November 2023 relating to improper work practices and safety concerns during what appeared to be unauthorized construction work, though these violations were abated by April 2024. Historical records show the building has had various structural and safety concerns over the years, including water damage and dry rot repairs in 1998, a 125-amp electrical service upgrade in 2003, and multiple expired renovation permits from the late 1990s.

The property has been the subject of numerous housing inspection complaints, with notable issues in 2009 regarding lack of heat, electrical problems, and pest infestations in one unit. The building also experienced three fire-related complaints between 2005 and 2020, primarily regarding combustible materials, though most were found to have no merit or resulted from access issues. While recent permits suggest ongoing maintenance attention, including the approved replacement of rear stairs as a required second means of egress, the building's historical record indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance and compliance issues requiring intervention from various city departments.
