670-672 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 670-672 Stanyan Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by the Monroy Family Trust, was constructed in 1904. The property has undergone several significant modifications over the years, most notably the establishment of a ground-floor coffee shop (Flywheel Coffee Roasters) in 2011, which included extensive plumbing and electrical work totaling $55,000 for new facilities including an accessible bathroom, coffee roasting equipment, and comprehensive electrical wiring.

Multiple permits from 2010-2012 show various improvements including window replacements, siding repairs, and other maintenance work. However, there are several areas of ongoing concern: an active building complaint from March 2024 regarding vandalism and urban decay, multiple open graffiti issues from January 2025 affecting various building surfaces, and a series of building violations dating back to 2017 regarding unauthorized construction of a roof over a patio area.

The building has experienced several unintentional fire alarm activations and one gas leak incident, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent permit activity includes attempts to replace a business sign and address storm-related damage to fiberglass panels in 2020, while multiple 311 calls in 2025 focus on graffiti removal. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, though the persistence of open violations and complaints suggests ongoing challenges with compliance and property maintenance.
