105 Sickles Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 105 Sickles Ave, owned by Emaa Capital LLC, was constructed in 1964 and has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is currently an active complaint from August 2024 regarding significant interior issues, including large holes in carpets, non-functional emergency windows in bathrooms and bedrooms, and concerns about window functionality and cooling/ventilation systems. Earlier complaints from 2023 revealed problems with a broken kitchen window, the absence of working smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, non-operational windows in multiple rooms, peeling popcorn ceilings, and a concerning heater issue that allegedly caused a burn to a child.

The building required multiple violations to be addressed, most notably during a cluster of complaints in May 2001 and February 2023, including the need for fire safety equipment, security improvements, and various interior repairs. The property has undergone some maintenance work, including a complete reroofing project in 2023 costing $10,000, and previously addressed violations from 1985 to bring the building into compliance. While regular inspections have been conducted over the years, most routine issues were resolved promptly.

More recent concerns about window maintenance (April 2023) and the need for carbon monoxide alarms (August 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history includes typical urban issues observed through 311 calls, such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, as well as a flooding incident in early 2023 that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations. The property's escalating maintenance issues, particularly regarding interior conditions and safety systems, is noteworthy, with several complaints remaining unresolved or requiring multiple follow-ups.
