465-471 Corbett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The four-unit, four-story multi-family residential building at 465-471 Corbett Avenue in Clarendon Heights, constructed in 1908, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. The property has faced recurring problems with building safety and habitability, including multiple housing code violations.

Most notably, in 2011-2012, there were serious concerns regarding the building's condition, including reports of major vermin infestations (including raccoons and rats), a gas issue on the second floor, and multiple building violations requiring repairs to ceilings, stairs, handrails, and security glazing on doors. The property has undergone several rounds of repairs in response to housing violations, including stair repairs in 2012 and various improvements in 2006 such as vinyl siding installation and other corrective work to address housing inspector citations. Electrical improvements were completed in 2011, including the installation of new outlets and circuits.

The building's maintenance history also shows evidence of moisture-related issues, with complaints about mold in bedrooms recorded in 2009, and exterior maintenance concerns including high weeds and debris reported in multiple years. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine matters, such as waste management and parking enforcement issues, with the most recent building-related concern being a parking violation reported in February 2024. The building's long-term maintenance record suggests periods of neglected upkeep followed by concentrated remediation efforts in response to violations, though more recent years show fewer documented major violations or complaints related directly to the building's condition.
