The City of San Francisco is nearing the completion of its emergency repairs initiative, with only two units remaining out of an original 187 identified for urgent work. This update was shared during a recent government meeting, highlighting the progress made over the past two and a half years in addressing critical housing needs.

The emergency repairs project began with a thorough assessment of each unit to determine necessary fixes to ensure they were habitable. Initially, four units were offline due to the extent of repairs needed, but as time progressed and residents moved out, the number of offline units decreased significantly. As of now, a total of 971 repairs have been completed, with only 35 still pending.

The remaining two units require substantial work, including flooring replacement and bathroom renovations, which are classified as "heavy lifts." The city is providing additional support for the elderly residents affected, ensuring they have assistance with packing and relocation during the repair process. The completion of these final repairs is anticipated by December, allowing residents to return to their homes before the holiday season.

The total budget for the emergency repairs was approximately $1.5 million, with the city utilizing funds effectively to address the urgent needs of its residents. The progress made in this initiative reflects a commitment to improving housing conditions and supporting the community's well-being.

As the city moves forward, officials expressed gratitude for the hard work that has led to the near completion of this vital project, emphasizing the importance of maintaining safe and functional living environments for all residents.
