285 London St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 285 London St in the Excelsior neighborhood is a 2-story apartment constructed in 1971, currently owned by Kathmandu LLC. The property has undergone regular inspections since 1999, with several significant safety-related violations documented in 2001 and 2007, particularly concerning fire safety equipment and gas utility safety - including issues with fire extinguisher recharging and gas shutoff tool provision - though all these violations were resolved by March 2001 and January 2008, respectively.

A notable safety concern emerged in 2019 when an unsecured air conditioning unit reportedly caused an injury to a passerby, though this complaint is no longer active. The building has received consistent attention to maintenance and safety, including a significant reroofing project in 2016 costing $19,140, though the permit for this work has expired.

More recently, there has been a pattern of maintenance issues observed between late 2024 to early 2025, including multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations, sidewalk cleaning needs, and graffiti on the building, with some of these cases remaining open as of late 2024. The property has no recorded fire incidents with civilian injuries, suggesting a generally safe environment from fire-related hazards despite the earlier safety violations. The building's history shows regular compliance with inspections and prompt attention to address violations when they occur, with no recorded tenant buyouts or major structural issues beyond the documented safety concerns.
