6-8 Pueblo St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 6-8 Pueblo Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Thomas Spencer J Trustee Of and constructed in 1947, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past three decades. Most recently, between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding basic utilities and maintenance problems, including lack of hot water, heating issues, water leaks, and bathroom tile deterioration. These issues were somewhat addressed in subsequent repairs, such as subfloor replacement in 2018 and stairway repairs in 2015, though a concerning pattern of plumbing and water-related problems persisted, with two sewage backup incidents reported in 2012 and 2013.

The building has a history of violations requiring attention to safety and maintenance standards, particularly during 2001 and 2016, when violations related to security (such as door self-closing mechanisms), fire safety (fire extinguishers), and building integrity (stairs and mold issues) were documented. Between 2019 and 2022, multiple complaints regarding basic utilities and maintenance led to various permit applications for repairs, including electrical upgrades in 2012-2014 and various other improvements. A significant cluster of complaints in 2016 highlighted multiple issues including plumbing, heating, and security concerns, while violations from 2016 included mold, pest, lead paint, and general maintenance issues.

The most recent incident, a fire-related complaint from December 2023, was found to have no merit with no reported injuries or damage. The property has undergone several electrical system upgrades, including a 200-amp service installation in 2012, though some permits from this period show as cancelled or expired. While the building has received ongoing maintenance attention, the repeating nature of certain issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
