240 Woolsey St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit residential building at 240 Woolsey Street in Portola, owned by Charles S & Dolores K Busut, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with the most pressing concerns documented in 2023-2024. Active complaints from October 2024 and July 2024 highlight serious deficiencies including lack of heating, absence of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, stairway safety concerns, broken windows, damaged walls, and plumbing issues.

A pattern of heating system failures is evident, with similar complaints recorded in 2015 and 2000. The building underwent re-roofing work in 2017, costing $10,500, but this appears to be one of the few positive maintenance records in recent years. The property has faced multiple housing code violations, particularly in February 2000, when inspectors found issues including mold/mildew on ceilings, floor covering problems, unsafe stairs, inadequate lighting, heating failures, damaged walls, and broken windows.

These violations were officially abated by March 2000, but many of these same issues have re-emerged in recent complaints. Fire safety concerns were also noted in mid-2024, with multiple fire code violations that were allegedly corrected by November 2024. The building's history includes several 311 calls regarding the property, particularly regarding garbage and debris issues on the surrounding street. There were two tenant buyouts recorded at 551 Brussels Street in 2018, each for $30,000 involving five tenants, though this is a separate address and not directly related to the conditions at 240 Woolsey Street.
