243-247 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 243-247 San Jose Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Fulton Housing LLC, has a history dating back to 1904. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most concerning recent complaint occurring in April 2023 regarding unauthorized construction work and noise. In early 2013, a cluster of violations was documented relating to various building maintenance issues, including weather proofing, wall damage, inadequate weather seal, and stair repairs, though these were abated by April 2013. That same period also saw gas line and heating system problems, with a gas leak leading to temporary loss of heat.

While several repair works were completed in 2013, including rear stair repairs and gas line installation, the building has since faced recurring maintenance challenges. A 2022 complaint highlighted sanitation concerns with trash management in the lightwell attracting pests, and a 2015 complaint questioned the permit status of a back alley patio installation. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing issues with sidewalk conditions, shared spaces management, and various neighborhood service matters. The property has undergone several documented improvements over the years, including reroofing work in 2012, painting in 2007, and multiple sidewalk repairs between 2004-2005.

The extensive list of building violations from January-April 2013 included multiple interior surface issues, sanitation concerns, and fire safety matters, all of which were officially abated. Historical complaints show recurring issues with heating systems, including multiple complaints about inadequate heat between 2011-2013. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and compliance matters, with several 311 calls relating to parking, sidewalk conditions, and waste management. While many historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of complaints suggests periodic maintenance and communication challenges between management and tenants.
