2-126 Garces Dr, San Francisco, CA 94132

The 66-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2-126 Garces Drive in Stonestown, owned by Parkmerced Owner LLC, has a history suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges since its construction in 1942. Most recently, in December 2024, there are active complaints regarding a leaking roof that has persisted since November 2024, and there was a significant issue with recurring mold documented in February 2023, with tenants reportedly having to bleach walls every 1-2 weeks.

The building underwent important safety upgrades in 2006 with several voluntary seismic improvements totaling $79,000, and plumbing infrastructure updates were completed in 2021 with the replacement of underground gas supply lines. Historical records show multiple electrical system improvements between 2007-2012, including the installation of new electrical devices, plugs, switches, fixtures, and fuse box upgrades. The property has faced several building maintenance issues over the years, including periods of inadequate heating (2021) and water quality concerns (2015), as well as a documented mold problem in 2006 that required abatement.

A cluster of violations from 2000 included concerns about lead paint, dry-rotted wood entryways, and weatherproofing issues, all of which were eventually resolved. The building has undergone various maintenance work including roof repairs in 2001-2002 and multiple electrical system upgrades, suggesting regular but reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep. Recent complaints and inspection records indicate ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance response times, particularly regarding moisture control and roof integrity.
