1-247 Garces Dr, San Francisco, CA 94132

The Garces Drive property at Parkmerced is a one-story, 72-unit multi-family residential building located in the Stonestown neighborhood and managed by Parkmerced Owner LLC. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in August 2022, when multiple violations were filed including problems with carpeting, lead paint hazards, damaged exterior stucco, window frames, flooring, handrails, window blinds, bathroom door, cabinets, and rear door. These violations remained active as of 2024, with a final warning letter issued in August 2024 regarding lead paint hazards.

More recent complaints from 2024 have focused on electrical issues, including reports of non-functioning carport lights since February 2024 and concerns about exposed wiring and extension cords in April 2024. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, including drainage work attempts in 2012-2013 involving permits for grading and construction of drainage ditches and retaining walls. There were earlier maintenance issues documented in 2016 (mold and mildew) and 2017 (sink backflow during rain).

The building's garbage disposal management has been a recurring concern, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding debris and waste. A zoning verification request was filed in 2023, and there was a brief investigation into illegal short-term rental activity at 247 Garces Drive that was subsequently abated. The property's fire safety record shows only one CO detector activation incident with no injuries, and while there is a historical fire alarm system violation recorded from 2010 at a nearby address, it is not directly related to the Garces Drive property.
