2973-2977 26th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2973-2977 26th Street in the Inner Mission is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building owned by Bernal Heights Housing Corp and constructed in 1912. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive update to the electrical system in April 2023, including installation of new sub-panels and upgrades to bedroom and bathroom fixtures. In 2022, a bathroom reconstruction was completed following mold remediation, and the building underwent important plumbing work in 2020, including the replacement of galvanized pipes within the walls of both units.

The property's history shows attention to maintenance, with earlier improvements including window replacements in 1996, foundation work in 1996, and roofing projects in 1990. Recent maintenance concerns have included recurring issues with sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2023 and 2024 regarding loose garbage and debris. Of particular note is a sewage backup incident reported in March 2024, though this issue was subsequently resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

The building has experienced minimal safety incidents, with only one recorded building fire (classified as unintentional) and a smoke detector malfunction, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The property has a documented history of stair repairs dating back to the late 1980s, suggesting ongoing attention to structural elements. While there have been numerous building permits issued over the years, most recent work has focused on modernizing systems and addressing maintenance issues rather than structural changes. The most active period for repairs appears to be during 2020-2023, with multiple simultaneous upgrades to plumbing, electrical, and bathroom facilities being completed in this timeframe.
