189-191 Sickles Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 189-191 Sickles Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900 and classified as Flats & Duplex, the building is currently owned by Rosa M & Victor T Serrato.

The structure has experienced recurring issues with its rear staircase, most recently documented in March 2024 when permits were issued for repairs to replace 3-4 steps and a footer, following a similar repair in 2016, suggesting ongoing structural maintenance needs. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in March 2016, including issues with window sashes, fire safety concerns, plumbing problems, and deteriorated smoke detection systems, though these were officially abated by December 2016. More recently, in February 2024, an active complaint was filed detailing multiple maintenance issues including water infiltration through windows, malfunctioning smoke detectors, heating problems, and various plumbing concerns.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior elements, with significant work completed in 2003-2004 to address dry rot damage in the front terrazzo staircase framing, though these permits expired before completion. The property has also experienced numerous parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2022 for sidewalk parking violations and driveway blocking, though these are unrelated to the building's condition. The recent complaints and active maintenance permits suggest that while the building has received periodic attention to its structural and safety systems, there are ongoing concerns that continue to affect resident comfort and safety.
