1300-1302 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 1300-1302 Rhode Island Street is a two-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Marky Lynn Quayle Living Trust. The building has experienced significant maintenance and compliance challenges over the past few years, with several concerning issues emerging between 2020 and 2024. Most recently, in October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding blight, boarded-up windows, and a broken glass window pane, though these complaints were subsequently abated by December 2024.

Between 2019 and 2020, there were serious concerns about unauthorized unit modifications, with allegations of illegal residential conversions of ground floor commercial space and partial demolition work, including unapproved construction following fire damage. The building has a documented history of permit-related issues, particularly regarding multiple expired permits and work completed without proper authorization between 1995 and 2002. The property has also faced operational challenges, including being classified as a vacant building in 2020 and failing to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance in 2020.

Planning records indicate ongoing efforts to resolve unauthorized units, with attempts to revert the building to its original two residential units and address fire damage. Recent maintenance issues have included multiple instances of garbage and debris concerns outside the building, as documented in 311 calls between 2023 and 2025. While the building has experienced various violations and complaints over its history, it's worth noting that many of these issues have been marked as "Not Active" or "Abated," indicating they have been addressed, though some concerns persist. The most recent building inspection in December 2024 resulted in several violations being abated, suggesting ongoing attention to code compliance.
