185 Broad St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-family residential building at 185 Broad Street, owned by Maher Coleman and built in 2005, has experienced numerous significant maintenance and code compliance issues over the past decade. Most notably, the property is currently facing multiple active violations from an August 2021 task force inspection (Complaint #202181577) that identified serious concerns including egress obstruction, structural hazards, smoke detector issues, handrail deficiencies, problems with building numbers, dryer vent concerns, and various unpermitted installations.

These violations include a July 2021 electrical work complaint (#202180143) related to unauthorized modifications, possibly for marijuana grow facilities. The building's permit history shows attempts to resolve these issues, including a 2022 withdraw application to convert an illegal ground-floor unit to an ADU and several plumbing and electrical permits issued in 2021 to address code violations. Earlier building history reveals past plumbing issues from 2014 involving leaks, flooding, and mold problems.

A short-term rental operation complaint was also filed and closed in 2022, indicating previous unauthorized rental activity. The property has undergone several electrical system modifications over the years, with the most recent completed work in 2008 involving a 200-amp underground service installation. A significant code compliance effort appears to be ongoing, as shown by the multiple permits and corrections being processed since 2021.
