2-33 Vidal Dr, San Francisco, CA 94132

2-33 Vidal Drive (Park Merced) is a 16-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1951 and currently owned by San Francisco State University. The property has experienced recurring issues with flooring, as evidenced by multiple complaints in recent years (2024-2023) regarding damaged and deteriorated floor coverings, particularly carpet problems. The building has faced several maintenance challenges over time, including plumbing issues (notably a problematic boiler in 2014-2009), electrical system upgrades (completed in 2015 and 2012), and interior surface concerns including peeling paint.

Recent records (2024) show multiple fire safety violations at the adjacent property (310 Arballo Drive), including issues with the highrise sprinkler system compliance, fire command center features, and various other safety systems, though these may not directly impact the Vidal Drive building itself. The property has undergone various improvements, including plumbing work in 2015 to upgrade facilities in a commercial leasing office and electrical improvements. While the building has had several code violations and complaints in the past (notably in 2009 regarding lead paint), these have generally been addressed, with most violations being marked as abated by 2020.

The building's recent history shows ongoing concerns primarily related to interior maintenance rather than major safety issues. Multiple street space permits were issued in 2016-2017, indicating some level of ongoing exterior work or maintenance activity. The property has maintained basic safety systems, though there have been occasional false alarms and detector activations recorded by the fire department with no reported injuries. The building's location in the Park Merced development area has seen various planning and zoning activities, including approvals for a restaurant (Clean Bites) and modifications to a pre-school program, suggesting active management and ongoing development oversight in the vicinity.
