326 Naples St, San Francisco, CA 94112

326 Naples Street is a multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood, containing two units and constructed in 1900. The property has undergone significant modifications and faced several regulatory challenges over the years, most notably regarding an unauthorized basement unit that prompted multiple violations in 2012-2014. This unauthorized unit, which included rooms, a kitchen, and bathroom facilities, led to serious safety concerns including inadequate exits, improper fire construction materials, and lack of essential safety features such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms.

The building underwent a substantial legalization process in 2014-2017, which included comprehensive electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, and interior renovations totaling over $85,000, to address these violations and bring the building into compliance with current codes. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance issues and safety concerns. In 2023, there was a fire complaint regarding combustible materials, which was promptly corrected.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in late 2024, primarily relating to parking violations and street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building's structural and safety concerns. The building's systems have received attention with a furnace replacement in 2017, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades have been completed. The property's most recent building permit activity occurred in 2017, when final inspections were completed for work previously approved under multiple permits, suggesting that all major outstanding violations were addressed at that time.
