2959 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2959 Folsom Street is a multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission neighborhood, consisting of 4 units plus a garage/storage area, built in 1900. The building underwent several significant improvements in the mid-2000s, including garage and storage area repairs ($20,000) and electrical upgrades with new circuits and panels ($20,000), followed by a complete underground conversion project in 2004. More recently, in 2015, the building received a new roof at a cost of $8,000.

There have been some notable concerns regarding the property's use, particularly between 2012 and 2015, when multiple complaints were filed about alleged illegal automotive painting operations being conducted from the property, including night-time work producing fumes that affected neighbors. While these complaints generated seven reports and police interventions, most were ultimately classified as "No Violation" or "No Merit" by the city. The property has experienced various maintenance and public safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns documented in 2024 including an open tree maintenance request, a general public works service request, and past incidents of graffiti (though one such complaint in April 2024 was investigated and found to be without evidence).

Historical records show the building underwent significant electrical upgrades in 2005, including the installation of new lighting, switches, receptacles, circuits, and a main electrical panel. The building's parking has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking designated areas and bike lanes between 2021-2022, though most of these incidents were either resolved or could not be validated upon inspection. The property's aging infrastructure has been periodically addressed through various permits and maintenance work, most notably the 2015 re-roofing project and earlier garage/storage renovations, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep despite some recurring environmental and safety concerns in recent years.
