212 Silliman St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 212 Silliman Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Portola neighborhood. Built in 1912 and currently owned by Ly Kim & Duong Binh Yeu, this Class D building has undergone significant renovations in recent years. Most notably, in 2019, the building underwent substantial improvements including facade repairs, window replacements, roof work, bathroom and kitchen remodels (costing $35,000), and comprehensive plumbing upgrades ($17,500) that included new copper pipes, shower pans, toilets, and water heater installations. The electrical system received a major upgrade in 2019 with the installation of new subpanels, wiring, lighting, bathroom fans, kitchen appliances, and smoke detectors.

The building's electrical service was previously upgraded to 4 meters with 200-amp service in 2017. The property has experienced some maintenance issues over its history, including a leaky window complaint in 2018 and concerns about exterior stairs' safety in 1996 (though both complaints are no longer active). The building had some structural maintenance needs addressed in earlier years, including dry rot repairs in 1991 and exterior work in 1989 (costing $35,000). Several infrastructure-related issues have been documented through 311 calls between 2019-2024, including sidewalk maintenance matters, sewer vent cover issues, and routine street cleaning.

The building's most recent permit activity involves multiple street space permits issued in 2019. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2018 for $25,000, involving one tenant, though no other buyout records are available. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly during the 2019 renovation period, which addressed numerous building systems and living spaces. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior and infrastructure maintenance rather than internal building issues. The building appears to be generally well-maintained, with major systems upgraded and most recent permits relating to street space use rather than building modifications or repairs.
