201-207 Richland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The five-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 201-207 Richland Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Sal & Lucy Callejas 2000 Fa, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various challenges over the years. The most recent major interior work was conducted in 2010 (with a permitted cost of $25,000) on Unit #205, including comprehensive updates to drywall, flooring, insulation, electrical wiring, and kitchen and bath improvements, representing an investment in modernization and energy efficiency. The building has faced multiple safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2003-2004, when numerous violations were documented, including problems with interior surfaces (damaged paint, cabinetry, walls), security (exterior door self-closing devices), and safety requirements (smoke detector and carbon monoxide issues).

A concerning incident occurred in 2019, involving gunfire that damaged the building's exterior, though this complaint was subsequently addressed. More recent years have shown continued maintenance attention, with several permits filed for various improvements, including a 1985 permit to "bring into code" compliance. The property's maintenance history reveals periodic challenges with building systems and resident comfort, particularly evident in 2003 when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating systems, doors, and pest issues, which were subsequently resolved.

Recent years have seen various routine inspections and repairs, with the most recent violation being a 2019 complaint about weatherproofing that was abated in 2019. While there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding the property's vicinity, these primarily concern street and sidewalk issues rather than direct building problems. The building's documented history shows a pattern of necessary maintenance and improvement, particularly following violations and resident complaints, with most issues being addressed through proper channels, though there was an extended period with visible damage from the 2019 incident.
