314-318 Woolsey St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 314-318 Woolsey Street in Portola is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, comprising three units and owned by Eugene Chen and Yan Qing. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple code compliance issues over its history. The most recent building complaint from December 2017 remains active, alleging unauthorized conversion of rear garages into living spaces with unpermitted electrical work.

Building safety concerns have been a recurring theme, with multiple routine inspections revealing issues such as non-compliant handrails, fire safety violations, and security deficiencies between 2001 and 2011. In 2018, the property underwent some remediation work in response to the 2017 complaint, including electrical upgrades and removal of certain plumbing fixtures, though many associated permits have since expired. Historical improvements include kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1998, reroofing in 1991, and an effort in 1983 to achieve full code compliance.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and neighborhood concerns, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to parking violations, sidewalk issues, and street cleaning. The most pressing current concern appears to be an open sidewalk defect complaint from September 2024 involving tree root damage. While the building has had periodic violations and complaints throughout its history, many of these have been addressed and marked as "Not Active," though the 2017 complaint regarding unauthorized unit conversions remains pending resolution. The most recent building repairs or modifications recorded were from 2018, though some work was completed under separate plumbing and electrical permits in August 2018.
