162-164 Randall St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 162-164 Randall Street property in Glen Park is a 4-story multi-family residential building owned by Benson Cross LLC, containing 2 units. The building underwent significant renovations starting in 2013-2014, with multiple major improvement projects totaling over $2 million. These included interior remodeling of both units, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, new utilities installations (radiant heat, combi boiler, and a complete electrical system upgrade), and the controversial removal of a rear balcony.

The property has undergone extensive plumbing work, with recent installations in 2024 including shower pans for three bathrooms and radiant heat systems. While the building has seen regular maintenance, including the recent replacement of its solar PV system in 2023, there are notable past issues that were resolved through proper channels. The property has a history of violations and enforcement actions from 2012-2014, including concerns about unpermitted construction, unauthorized unit modifications, and grading violations.

These issues were ultimately resolved, with one significant violation related to unpermitted fill accumulation against a neighboring fence being abated in May 2014. More recently, there have been several sewer-related incidents reported through 311 calls, particularly in 2022, suggesting potential ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates and repairs, with the most recent permits focusing on finalizing previously permitted work and addressing inspection requirements.
