301 Randolph St, San Francisco, CA 94132

The two-story multi-family residential building at 301 Randolph St, owned by T & T 301 Randolph LLC, has a complex history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1946. The property, classified as Flat & Store 4 units or less, contains two dwelling units and formerly included a commercial space.

Recent significant concerns, as evidenced by active building violations from March 2024, include structural issues with a deteriorating retaining wall and exterior siding along the southern property line, which prompted a $10,000 repair permit issued in April 2024. There are also ongoing investigations regarding unauthorized modifications, including a previously commercial space conversion and various unpermitted structural changes such as a replaced wooden stairway with a metal spiral stairway, added non-fire-rated windows, and an enclosed second-floor balcony/deck. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges and compliance issues over the years, including multiple building violations, plumbing and electrical problems, and concerns about illegal units.

Notable past issues include a 2018 complaint about broken appliances and lack of heat, 2017 heating system problems, and earlier concerns about a failing block wall that caused water runoff to neighboring properties. Fire safety inspections in 2024 revealed multiple concerns regarding electrical systems, sprinkler systems, and blocked exits, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected." The property has also experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, and recent sewage backup incidents. While some historical permits show maintenance work has been performed, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, gas meter relocations, and various repairs, many of these issues remain unresolved or require further attention, as indicated by active violations and ongoing permit applications for legalization of modifications.
