1855-1859 Egbert Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1855-1859 Egbert Avenue in Bayview is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Arsenio Xar Lopez. The building's most significant recent issues are documented through a series of permits and violations from 2009-2015, when it was found to have been illegally converted from its original one-family dwelling status to a five-unit residential building, complete with unauthorized kitchens and improper modifications.

This led to multiple code violations including unapproved wiring, plumbing issues, inadequate fire safety measures, and improper exiting arrangements, though some of these violations were addressed through subsequent permits in 2014 and 2015 for the legalization of rooms, bathrooms, and laundry facilities. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and habitability issues in recent years, with multiple tenant complaints in 2019 regarding bathroom lighting, hot water, mold, and pest infestations. The property has also had documented problems with sewage discharge from side sewer vents in January 2025, along with multiple reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity.

While there was one fire-related violation recorded in 2020 regarding required fire extinguishers, this was subsequently abated. Historical records indicate various structural modifications and repairs over the years, including a horizontal addition completed in 1996 and a roof repair in 1993, though some related permits from the 1990s are listed as expired. The building has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in early 2025, primarily related to sewage issues and street cleaning matters.
