650 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 650 Stanyan Street property is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by the Jeffrey Litke Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, most notably a series of violations in 2018 related to deteriorating cornices, weatherproofing, fire safety, and lead paint hazards, all of which were finally abated by October 2019.

During this same period, there were concerns about exterior paint stripping without proper containment for lead-based paint, and reports of facade issues threatening sidewalk safety. More recent concerns include an active routine inspection filed in March 2023 and a general maintenance complaint from September 2019 regarding fire proofing. The building has undergone several major infrastructure upgrades over the years, including a complete electrical system modernization in 2003 with new 250-amp service and meters, a boiler replacement in 2013, and installation of a backflow preventer in 2012.

The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activation incidents, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 primarily relate to graffiti, public works requests, and street cleaning matters, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance challenges. The building has also been the subject of wireless antenna installation proposals, with mixed outcomes including one denial and two approved projects for T-Mobile and Verizon equipment.
