2990 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2990 Cesar Chavez Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Luis Contreras, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1915. The most recent comprehensive improvements were completed between 2015-2016, including window replacements on the ground floor unit, kitchen upgrades with new cabinets and granite countertops, bathroom renovations, and electrical system improvements including panel upgrade and wiring modernization.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, with multiple repairs to stairs and emergency systems between 2000 and 2007, following several housing inspection violations related to fire safety and structural elements. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the 2000s and 2010s, with multiple complaints about heating problems, mold concerns, and general upkeep of common areas. Notable violations from 2000 included issues with combustible storage, stair repairs, and fire extinguisher requirements, all of which were subsequently abated.

Between 2009-2012, there were multiple complaints about heating systems, moisture problems, and building inspections revealed various maintenance needs. The property history also shows some unauthorized modifications, including the installation of an unpermitted parking gate and curb cut in 2001, which were later addressed. Recent years (2023-2024) have shown ongoing issues with debris management in the vicinity of the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage and abandoned items, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues.
