1109 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-family residential building at 1109 York Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Silvia Delcarmen Vazquez, has been in operation since 1900 and consists of two stories. The property is currently under significant scrutiny due to recent housing code violations filed in January 2024, alleging unauthorized modifications that created additional dwelling units and safety concerns.

These violations include multiple serious infractions such as inadequate smoke detectors, improper exiting, insufficient fire resistance materials, inadequate ceiling height, lack of approved heating sources, and various issues with plumbing, electrical systems, egress routes, and light/ventilation requirements. Most notably, the building's current occupancy situation is particularly concerning, with records indicating the presence of three dwelling units despite the legal classification as an R-3 two-family dwelling, including an allegedly occupied unpermitted unit with kitchen, sink, and bath facilities on the ground floor behind the garage.

The property has undergone several permit applications over the years, including a solar panel installation in 2022 and multiple historical permits for various modifications, though some permits have been cancelled or expired. Recent municipal service calls (from early 2024 to September 2024) have primarily focused on street cleaning and parking enforcement issues around the property, with multiple reports of illegal parking and garbage concerns that were subsequently resolved. The building's current status shows active efforts to address the violations through a planning application under review for the legalization of previously unpermitted units and structures, while recent inspections have noted various unsafe conditions requiring correction.
