218-220 Prague St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 218-220 Prague St in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Elizalde Thomas & Dorallcia, was constructed in 1917 and has experienced several significant issues in recent years. In 2017, the building faced multiple housing code violations including rodent infestation, water damage, mold and mildew presence, interior surface deterioration, plumbing problems, and inadequate smoke detection systems, all of which were officially abated by May 2017. These violations were documented alongside complaints about a basement unit (occupied by subtenant Maria Pellegrino) reporting insects/rodents, damaged walls, and a leaking ceiling.

The building had previously undergone some structural work in 2004, when repairs were made to a rotting wood exterior staircase and a new wood deck was installed at the rear of the house at a cost of $12,000. The property has more recently experienced multiple maintenance and environmental concerns, as evidenced by 311 calls throughout 2024-2025. These include recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property, with several cases reported and resolved by Recology.

Notably, there are currently three open cases from November 2024 regarding tree-related issues, including a fallen tree and a damaged tree affecting the building. There was also one recorded fire incident involving smoke or odor removal, though it resulted in no civilian injuries. The property appears to have undergone a tenant buyout at a nearby address (479 Moscow Street) in February 2021, involving three tenants and totaling $40,000. The most recent building-related service calls primarily concern exterior maintenance and environmental issues rather than interior habitability concerns.
