292 Williams Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 292 Williams Ave in Silver Terrace, owned by Erick A Carias, has a complex history dating back to its 1906 construction. Most concerning is an active tenant complaint filed in January 2025, detailing multiple serious issues including lack of heat, removed washing machine plumbing, missing smoke detectors, broken windows, and concerns about an illegal unit in the garage.

The building underwent significant electrical improvements in December 2023 with a 200-amp service upgrade, and had deck renovations in 2009 including replacement of rear stairs and deck, completed following a Notice of Violation issued in December 2008 related to unpermitted construction work. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the years, including a December 2003 complaint about non-working heating and ventilation systems. Fire safety has also been a concern, with several violations noted in January 2019 related to exits, storage, electrical hazards, and emergency lighting.

While most of these fire violations were abated, they highlight ongoing safety compliance challenges. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to necessary repairs and upgrades, with the most recent being the electrical service upgrade, though the current active tenant complaints suggest persistent habitability concerns that may require further investigation. The property has had multiple 311 calls regarding the surrounding area in early 2025, primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself.
