1231 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1231 York Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Glenn Benjamin and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in early 2023, the bathroom received substantial updates including new tile, fixtures, and a toilet replacement at a cost of $28,192, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed.

In 2019, the laundry area was relocated to comply with a Notice of Violation, but this work was initially completed without proper permits, leading to several complaints and violations that were eventually addressed. The building's history includes multiple maintenance and improvement projects, such as stair replacement and siding work in 2012, and a legal use confirmation in 2015 documenting its two-unit status. Past compliance issues included a dangerous brick chimney situation in 2005 (quickly resolved), unauthorized window modifications, and various drainage problems.

A tenant buyout of $34,500 occurred in 2015 involving three tenants. The property has maintained basic fire safety compliance, with only minor issues noted in 2009 and 2018 that were promptly resolved. Recent years have shown no major structural or safety violations, though there have been routine maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for street cleaning and parking violations in the vicinity.
