100-198 Appleton Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The Holly Courts Housing Association property at 100-198 Appleton Avenue in Bernal Heights is a 118-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940. The building has undergone significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including multiple boiler and hot water heater replacements between 2018 and 2024, an electrical service upgrade in 2015, and the installation of playground equipment in 2017. However, the property is currently facing serious and ongoing issues. There are multiple active complaints from 2023-2025 regarding health concerns related to paint and particles causing physical distress to tenants, including burning sensations and dizziness.

Additionally, there is an open sleeping area violation from October 2023. Historic compliance issues include various building violations from 2016-2019 related to maintenance and repairs, though these were subsequently abated. Recent infrastructure work demonstrates regular maintenance of building systems, with the most recent boiler and water heater replacements occurring in 2024 and 2023. However, the building has experienced some safety incidents, including a fire in July 2022 (though this was quickly addressed) and multiple false alarms and emergency medical service calls recorded by the fire department.

The property underwent significant accessibility improvements in 2016, with revisions documenting features across multiple buildings, though this was originally planned in 2015. The building's management has received multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in recent months, though these have generally been resolved. The property has a history of regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including extensive plumbing work in 2018 and electrical upgrades in 2015. However, the most pressing current concerns relate to the ongoing health issues reported by multiple tenants regarding paint and particles, which appear to be the most significant resident experience issues at the property today. While historical violations and maintenance issues have generally been addressed, the recent complaints suggest potential challenges with building maintenance and resident communication.
