2-8 Massasoit St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2-8 Massasoit Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Michael G Young Living Trust. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to dry rot and safety concerns. Most recently, in January 2025, permits were issued for deck repairs to address dry rot, following similar work done in 2023 on Unit #2 to comply with a routine inspection.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in June 2022, including issues with interior surfaces, weatherproofing, rodent infestation, and fire safety concerns regarding entry doors - all of which were officially abated by September 2023. Earlier repairs include a 2008 replacement of stairs to upper Unit #2 and a 2007 electrical upgrade to a 200-amp service for three meters. The building has faced numerous health and safety challenges over the past few years, with active complaints as recent as November 2023 regarding lack of heat, insect/rodent problems, and structural issues.

A complaint from 2021 was notably concerning, involving a reported rat bite incident. The property was also the subject of community complaints in 2021 regarding potential illegal commercial use of the residential unit, though this particular issue was marked as not active within two days of the complaint. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations, solid waste management, and structural maintenance, with one structural maintenance case still open as of June 2024. Despite the completion of many repairs and the resolution of numerous violations, the building's history shows persistent maintenance and safety challenges that have required ongoing attention over the years.
