46-50 Manchester St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 46-50 Manchester Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Joanne Cronin Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several regulatory challenges over the past two decades.

Most notably, there was an unauthorized third-story addition constructed in 2003-2004 that led to multiple code violations, including unapproved wiring and plumbing, which were not officially addressed until 2018-2019 when efforts were made to legalize the addition through various permits. The rear building underwent substantial rehabilitation between 2014-2019, including foundation work, basement additions, and various interior improvements, though this work was also subject to regulatory scrutiny due to unauthorized modifications, particularly regarding roof structure changes in 2019. Recent maintenance activities include a complete reroofing project completed in March 2023 at a cost of $17,990, and window replacements in 2020.

The building has experienced several infrastructure upgrades over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, full rewiring (2019), and plumbing improvements. Multiple complaints were filed during the 2018-2019 period regarding construction activities, including complaints about work being done beyond permitted scope, construction noise, and safety concerns, though most of these issues were eventually addressed through proper permitting and compliance procedures. The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with recent permits focusing on exterior and interior improvements while addressing past code violations.
