1176 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 1176 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission was constructed in 1963 and is currently owned by Bernard & Leona Fong Fmly S. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most pressing concern being an active violation from September 2019 regarding lead paint hazards that remains unresolved as of October 2023. This ongoing issue has generated multiple complaints from 2019-2020 about peeling paint, including reports of unsafe work practices such as uncontained scraping of lead paint.

The building has a documented history of structural concerns, including a fire incident in 1989, dry-rot repairs to the deck in 2013, and attempts at seismic reinforcement in 1987 (though this permit expired). A routine inspection in 2009 (complaint #200987580) revealed multiple safety concerns including issues with stairs, handrails, and garbage room ventilation, while a 2003 inspection (complaint #200343783) identified various maintenance deficiencies. More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been multiple reports of graffiti and cleanliness issues around the property, as evidenced by several 311 calls, though these appear to have been resolved promptly.

The building underwent some window improvements in 2005 with the installation of eight vinyl windows, though no major renovations appear to have been undertaken in recent years. A potential shared spaces fire complaint was filed in October 2021, which was marked as duplicate and had no merit, but another related to shared spaces was deferred in February 2023. The property's record shows a pattern of maintenance and safety compliance issues that have persisted over the years, with some problems remaining unresolved for extended periods.
