87 Crescent Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

This two-unit residential building, located at 87 Crescent Ave in Bernal Heights, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922 and currently owned by Bypass Tr. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent concerns centering on an active violation regarding a wooden utility ladder (filed October 2024) and previously deteriorated drainage pipes (December 2023).

The building has a documented history of neglect, with multiple violations recorded in 2004 that remained unresolved until 2009, including problems with heating, smoke detectors, electrical systems, and structural elements such as stairs and decks. The property has undergone some repairs over the years, including rear stair repairs in 2004 and reroofing work in 1990, though many violations remained active for extended periods. More recent history shows continuing maintenance challenges, with complaints about exterior conditions including peeling paint (2015), water intrusion and structural concerns (2013), and multiple issues with drainage (2023-2024).

The building has generated numerous 311 calls in late 2024 regarding various matters, including sewage back-up (January 2025) and multiple reports of garbage and debris. While some of these recent issues have been resolved, the persistent nature of maintenance problems and the relatively slow response to previous violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has no recorded tenant buyouts under the provided address, and all historical violations have been marked as not active, suggesting they have been formally resolved, though some, like the wooden utility ladder violation, may indicate ongoing compliance issues.
