138 Wilson St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 138 Wilson Street in the Outer Mission, owned by Calvin Lee, has undergone several significant modifications and currently faces some pressing concerns. The 1915 structure has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, including a 2006 reroofing project costing $19,800, structural support enhancements in 1999 (installation of beams and footings), and various interior updates in 1988-1989, such as bathroom and kitchen remodels.

Notably, in 1998, a legal unit was established in the back of the storage area, and in 2012, a gas houseline extension was completed, demonstrating ongoing system upgrades. Of particular concern is an active building complaint from March 2023 reporting a shed converted into an illegal dwelling unit, occupied by an elderly disabled man, with accompanying issues of lack of heat, hazardous appliances, and disabled access concerns.

The property has also experienced persistent issues with garbage and debris, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025, and there have been several reports of illegal parking violations in the vicinity, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the vehicles. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, but the recent complaints about illegal units and accessibility issues raise significant questions about current resident safety and compliance with housing regulations. Additionally, the property has seen two tenant buyouts in recent years, one for $130,000 in 2020, though no buyout activity is recorded for 138 Wilson Street directly, with the nearest transaction at 177 Wilson Street for $24,000 in 2017.
