1269 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94117

Located in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood, 1269 McAllister Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building built in 1900, currently owned by Miguel Gutierrez. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the years, with particular concern for basic systems like heating and plumbing. Most notably, there have been multiple heating problems documented between 2004 and 2012, including a week without heat in May 2012 and inadequate heating complaints from 2004-2006.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep attempts, including a 2011 reroofing project ($8,500) and solar panel installation in 2012 (6 PV modules). However, there are some troubling recent patterns, particularly regarding fire safety systems; there have been multiple violations between 2022-2024 related to sprinklers, alarms, and fire extinguishers, with the most recent violation for sleeping area requirements issued in October 2023 that is currently open. The building has also experienced significant plumbing issues, with house trap replacements documented in 2017 and recent sewer backup incidents in March 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has a history of electrical and safety concerns, including multiple instances of illegal wiring (most notably in 2007), ventilation issues, and various building code violations.

A cluster of housing complaints was filed in 2006, including concerns about dilapidation, electrical outlets, and general maintenance. While some historical violations have been resolved, including a 2011 complaint about furniture hung from a second-floor window, many issues required multiple follow-ups before being addressed. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to graffiti removal, hazardous materials, and street maintenance. The building underwent a condominium conversion process in the past, but the status remains listed as "Closed" without a developer name provided.
