23-25 Virginia Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 23-25 Virginia Avenue in Bernal Heights is a 2-story, 1900 structure currently owned by Silas Geneson Sep Prop Lvg. The property has undergone several significant improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2022 costing $20,000, and the installation of a solar system with 16 PV modules (5.28 kW) in 2018. A notable safety concern occurred in 1998 when there was a small fire on the upper floor, though it resulted in only minimal fire damage and water-related issues.

The building was subject to multiple housing code violations in 2000 related to safety and security, including the need for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, security features, and gas meter instructions - all of which were resolved by June 2000. A follow-up routine inspection in 2008 (complaint #200845750) identified additional security requirements that were subsequently addressed. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance and sanitation activities in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024 primarily concerning street cleaning and garbage issues, though these are largely external to the building itself.

The sidewalk was repaired in 2006, and the building has maintained its compliance with various safety requirements since the 2000 violations. The property had previously gone through the process of eliminating an illegal unit in 1985 to comply with local regulations. While there have been numerous reports of garbage and debris in the area (especially in 2024), these appear to be external to the building and somewhat typical for the neighborhood based on the frequency of such complaints.
