830 Prague St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 830 Prague Street, owned by the Mary G Mendieta Family Trust, has a lengthy maintenance and compliance history since its construction in 1917. The property has undergone several recent improvements, including the installation of energy-efficient retrofit vinyl windows in early 2024 and late 2023.

However, the building has experienced persistent fire safety issues, with documented violations for multiple fire code violations occurring annually from 2018 through 2024. Notable historical concerns include significant fire damage repair work in 2000, structural maintenance including roof replacement and stair repairs in 2001, and exterior stucco work in 2001. Recent maintenance activities include a gas houseline extension and electrical service upgrade in 2014, though some electrical permits from that period are now expired.

The property has been subject to various structural and safety inspections, with notable complaints in the past regarding unauthorized living space in a backyard shed (2012) and life safety concerns about electrical systems in a rear cottage (2000). More recent building issues have centered around fire safety compliance, with violations noted for problems including door maintenance, alarm systems, and sprinkler system service requirements. The building has also experienced various infrastructure and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, as documented in recent 311 calls, including sewer maintenance, sidewalk defects, and tree root-related problems.
