1266-1268 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1266-1268 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Wahl-da Silva Living Trust. The building has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, with significant events clustered around 2004-2010, including multiple building violations requiring repairs to stairs, egress, interior surfaces, and security features, all of which were abated by April 2004. Major renovation work was completed in 2001, including a $65,000 bathroom and kitchen remodel, window installations, and a $6,900 reroofing project.

Recent concerns include an active complaint from October 2024 regarding unpermitted construction of a large deck/stairs and interior modifications, following reports of the building being unoccupied with tenants allegedly evicted two years prior. The property has experienced various plumbing issues, unauthorized construction attempts, and safety concerns over the years, with the most recent notable activity involving illegal auto repair operations reported in late 2023. A series of parking-related incidents have been documented in 2023-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the area, though these are external to the building's condition.

The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple corrective notices over its history, with the most recent significant inspection-related activity being a routine police inspection in 1992 (cited in 2004). There have been documented tenant buyouts at nearby addresses (1272 York Street) in March 2022, but records for units 1266 and 1268 are incomplete. The property's maintenance history shows periods of both significant investment (2001 improvements) and concerning neglect, with the most recent active complaint (October 2024) raising serious questions about current occupancy status and unauthorized modifications.
