11-37 Bucareli Dr, San Francisco, CA 94132

The 42-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 11-37 Bucareli Drive in Stonestown, owned by Parkmerced Owner LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring plumbing issues, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2024 reporting multiple service disruptions affecting basic water needs, including showering and cooking, which particularly impacted families with small children. The building has undergone various structural improvements since its 1942 construction, including voluntary seismic upgrades in 2006, multiple roofing projects (2007 and 2008), and major electrical system updates in 2007 involving comprehensive rewiring of kitchens and replacement of electrical devices.

A concerning incident occurred in April 2019 when a carport fire resulted in damage requiring repairs to electrical systems and other infrastructure. The building's hot water system has also been problematic, with maintenance issues resulting in violations noted in 2016-2020. Other maintenance history includes a boiler replacement in 2015, periodic roof repairs, and various code compliance issues.

The property has faced several building violations and complaints over the years, including instances of mold/mildew (2016), fire-rated ceiling repairs (2016), and security-related concerns. The most recent significant building inspection case from November 2024 highlighted plumbing problems that had persisted since July 2024, though some other recent issues related to hot water (October 2024) and garbage accumulation (August 2019) have been resolved. There have been a few fire safety incidents recorded near the property, including malfunctioning alarm systems and smoke scares, but no civilian injuries were reported in these events. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure improvements, though there have been recurring patterns of similar issues, particularly relating to the plumbing and hot water systems, which appear to be the most persistent challenges affecting resident comfort and convenience.
