2837-2841 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story apartment building at 2837-2841 Folsom St in San Francisco's Inner Mission was built in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, the building experienced a roof fire in March 2016 that caused damage requiring emergency repairs including ceiling repairs and temporary patches, followed by completed reroofing work in August 2016 costing $9,400. In 2017, substantial improvements were made including kitchen remodeling, bathroom updates, electrical system upgrades to 100 amps, and lighting enhancements totaling $28,500.

The building has also seen necessary mechanical upgrades, including a 60 BTU furnace installation in 2014 and water heater replacement in 2016. The property had multiple building violations in early 2014 related to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, including no heat, water heater issues, electrical problems, and more, though all were abated by July 2014. There is currently an active complaint from January 2023 regarding a possibly illegal bathroom installation and electrical work near a shower.

Recent maintenance has focused on addressing graffiti issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2023 and 2024. The building's systems have received attention from various permits, including an underground power service conversion in 2004 and attic ducting work for furnace installation in 2014. While many of the building's past issues have been resolved through proper permitting and inspections, the structure is over 115 years old and has required ongoing maintenance and upgrades to meet modern standards.
