2906-2908 Hawes St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2906-2908 Hawes Street in Bayview, owned by Zhou Zewen & Chen Mei, has a documented history dating back to its 1917 construction. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work occurring in 2008-2009, including a complete electrical upgrade to 200-amp service, kitchen and bathroom fixture replacements, and extensive rewiring work.

Prior to these improvements, the building experienced serious maintenance issues in 2000-2001, including multiple housing code violations related to drainage problems, mold/mildew, stairs, and various plumbing and electrical issues, although these were ultimately resolved by 2010. The building has a concerning pattern of fire safety violations, with multiple citations issued between 2006 and 2021, including blocked exits, combustible materials, and other fire code violations, though no civilian injuries have been reported in associated fire incidents. Recent concerns at the property include a sewage discharge incident in December 2024, which marks a notable deterioration in building conditions considering the property's historical maintenance issues.

The building's systems and infrastructure appear to have undergone significant improvements since the extensive 2008-2009 renovations, including the installation of energy-efficient lighting. The property has not had any reported tenant buyouts, and while there have been multiple service calls related to building systems (including gas leaks and carbon monoxide incidents), none have resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external conditions of the property and surrounding area rather than internal living conditions, with multiple reports of garbage/debris and some infrastructure issues like pavement defects.
