2828 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The building at 2828 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Planiczka Family Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges over its history. A notable fire incident occurred in 2012, affecting the top floor at the rear of the building, which required $35,000 in repairs and prompted safety-related improvements including weatherproofing and rehabilitation of fire safety features.

The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a comprehensive horizontal addition in 1998 costing $97,000, the installation of a 13D sprinkler system in 2000, and an electrical service conversion to support three meters in 2004. Recent maintenance includes water heater replacement in 2016 and several roofing improvements, with a complete reroofing project in 2007 costing $16,800. The property has experienced various regulatory oversight events, including a series of fire safety-related violations in 2015-2016 that required addressing fire extinguisher maintenance, fire proofing, and carbon monoxide alarm installation. A 2012 Housing Inspection Services routine inspection determined the building to be unsafe, though this status was resolved by 2013.

The building's security and safety features have been periodically scrutinized, with violations in 2002 regarding deadlatch locks and fire extinguisher requirements, all of which were subsequently abated. More recently, in 2022, there was a complaint about early morning construction activities, though this was resolved quickly. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety improvements, with most permits receiving "Complete" status, indicating successful project completion. The property's location has generated several parking-related complaints (2017-2022) regarding blocked bicycle lanes in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.
