49 Bosworth St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 49 Bosworth Street in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1959, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most pressing active concerns involve water damage, mold growth, light repairs, wall damage, and the lack of smoke detectors, all documented in a January 2019 complaint that remains unresolved as of October 2023. These issues were formally noted through multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued between January and April 2019.

The building's history reveals recurring moisture-related problems, including multiple complaints about window leaks, with the most recent window-related issues reported in January 2023, showing an ongoing pattern of water intrusion affecting various units. In terms of infrastructure maintenance, the property has seen periodic updates including window replacements in 2004 and water heater replacement in 2008, though the 2004 window replacement permits are now expired. The building's safety record includes a fire escape issue noted and corrected in June 2017, though more recent concerns about general maintenance and habitability persist.

Earlier historical complaints from the 1990s documented significant plumbing issues, including a major kitchen flooding incident in 1994, suggesting that some infrastructure problems have persisted over decades. While there have been routine inspections conducted regularly between 1999 and 2014, the frequency and nature of complaints since 2013 point to ongoing maintenance challenges. Surrounding area activities recorded through 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement rather than building-specific issues, though there have been some recent reports of hazardous materials that were resolved through city services in 2022.
