2-12 Hale St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2-12 Hale Street in Portola, built in 1895 and currently owned by C&Z Investment LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are two recent plumbing incidents in September 2023, where multiple complaints were filed regarding a broken sewer line and water intrusion, though the plumbing repair work was subsequently completed in September 2023.

The building has undergone various maintenance improvements, including a reroofing project completed in 2017 costing $12,500, and some unit-specific repairs such as bathroom renovations in Unit 4 (2017) and sewer line replacement in 2023. The property has a documented history of sanitation and maintenance violations, particularly between 2015-2017, including issues with garbage receptacles and multiple interior surface problems such as water damage, damaged ceilings, and kitchen cabinetry concerns. A notable cluster of violations related to interior surfaces was documented in February 2017, including potential lead paint hazards.

There were also some fire safety concerns documented in May 2020, with multiple fire code violations related to extinguishers and electrical safety, though these were subsequently abated. Recent activity at the property includes several 311 calls from January 2025 regarding graffiti, noise, and garbage issues, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history of maintenance issues suggest that while some repairs and improvements have been made, there may be periodic concerns regarding building upkeep and resident amenities.
