52 Manchester St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The multi-family residential building at 52 Manchester Street in Bernal Heights is a 3-unit, 1-story structure built in 1903, currently owned by the Boots Rolf Hughston 2015 Trust. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and violation issues over the years, with the most recent major incident occurring in 2013 when multiple health and safety violations were documented, including mold/mildew on ceilings, inadequate heating, rodent infestation, and problems with walls and floors. These issues were all addressed and abated by August 2013, along with associated repairs to rear siding and electrical systems.

There was also a notable complaint in 1998 regarding illegal basement and attic units (#52A and #52) and an unauthorized deck, which remained unresolved until 2004 despite multiple permit renewals. More recent building activity includes a 2015 complaint about unpermitted construction work at the rear of the building, though this was classified as "Not Active." The building's permit and maintenance history shows regular upkeep of both the structure and its surroundings, including sidewalk repairs (2009) and various electrical improvements. In 2000, a kitchen remodel was undertaken, and additional electrical work was completed in 2004 to address issues from an expired permit.

The property has experienced some chronic issues with waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2019 regarding receptacle placement violations. While there have been recurring concerns about parking violations in the area (most recently in 2024), these are external to the building itself. The extensive record of permit renewals and corrections suggests ongoing efforts to maintain compliance with building codes, though some historical violations and maintenance issues have required multiple interventions to resolve.
