215-217 Precita Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 215-217 Precita Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, owned by Eric Neplokh and constructed in 1907. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2020-2021, involving kitchen and laundry room modifications on multiple floors, window replacements, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades costing approximately $80,000. The building's history shows attention to infrastructure maintenance, including the installation of a new house trap and lateral plumbing systems in 2016, and earlier improvements to convert storage spaces into habitable areas, notably adding a bathroom at the basement level in 2000.

The building has faced several important challenges over its history, particularly in the early 2000s. These included multiple building complaints regarding unpermitted construction work, a sewer leak, and plumbing issues in 2000-2002, though all these violations were ultimately abated. A significant plumbing incident occurred in 2013 involving sewer backups that were resolved.

The property also experienced problems requiring multiple permit revisions, especially in 2000-2001, when there were issues with converting non-habitable spaces into bedrooms and bathrooms. Additionally, there is an active housing complaint from 1996 regarding substandard plumbing, electrical systems, and heating, which has not been fully resolved as of the last available information. The most recent concerns appear to be related to parking issues on the sidewalk near the property, with multiple reports in January 2024 concerning a grey Toyota Rav4, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. Overall, while the building has had its share of historical maintenance and violation issues, recent permits suggest ongoing improvements and updates to the property, particularly during 2020-2021, though the presence of an active housing complaint from 1996 indicates some maintenance matters may still require attention.
