345 Hanover St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 345 Hanover Street in Croker Amazon, owned by Julio & Maria Alfaro, was constructed in 1923 and contains three units. The property has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues, with the most recent concerns centering around illegal residency complaints filed in 2024. Notable violations from September 2001 included multiple security and safety issues, such as inadequate lighting, broken window panes, plumbing problems, and security deficiencies, though these were all abated by November 2001.

The building has undergone some maintenance work, including window replacements in 2001 and roofing work in 1998, but historical complaints indicate persistent issues with windows and leaks. Recent activity from late 2024 shows ongoing concerns, including building exterior maintenance issues and multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations. A complaint regarding inadequate building maintenance was closed in November 2024, and there has been an active report about an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk.

The property has a documented history of unauthorized units, with complaints in 2016 about illegal units and electrical work, as well as a 2003 complaint about unauthorized unit conversions in a back structure. Earlier issues included problems with heat distribution, window functionality, and various plumbing and electrical concerns, though many of these were addressed through permits and inspections. The building has also experienced some fire safety violations in the past, primarily related to combustible waste and vegetation issues, with the most recent fire complaints regarding weeds and grass in 2015 and 2012.
