115-117 Gates St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This 3-unit multi-family residential building, located at 115-117 Gates Street in Bernal Heights, was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Robert D. Eastman. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major renovations occurring in 2014, including bathroom and kitchen updates ($20,000) and HVAC system upgrades with new ductwork and furnace installation ($6,410).

Prior to this, the building saw the addition of solar panels in 2010 (7 roof-mounted PV modules, 1.5 kW total) and an underground electrical conversion in 2004. A concerning incident occurred in 2009 when a housing complaint was filed regarding improper storage and ventilation issues in the basement, which was subsequently addressed through fire safety inspections that noted combustible materials (though these conditions were corrected on the same day of reporting). The most recent building-related activity includes multiple utility service requests in late 2024, though these appear to be routine matters. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent months, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents resulting in citations, and ongoing concerns about sidewalk conditions likely related to tree root damage.

Three instances of utility-related service requests were logged in November 2024, indicating potential infrastructure or billing issues requiring attention. Historical records show earlier maintenance work included repairs to stairs and landings in 1997, and two street space permits were issued in 2005. A false alarm system activation incident was recorded with the fire department, though no actual fire or injuries were involved. The combination of recent utility service requests and citations for parking violations suggests increased activity around the property, though most building improvements and major systems upgrades appear to have been properly permitted and completed in accordance with city regulations.
