1339-1341 York St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1339-1341 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building owned by the Beltran Family Living Trust. Built in 1900, the building has experienced several significant events, most notably a series of violations and illegal unit issues between 1999 and 2013. In 2010, a Notice of Violation was issued regarding an illegal fifth unit that had been constructed without permits, prompting the building owner to undertake remediation work to convert the unauthorized space back to an unconditioned storage room, including removal of cooking facilities and bathroom fixtures, for which both building and plumbing permits were obtained in 2010-2011.

A cluster of violations was recorded in 2003 related to security and safety issues, including problems with exterior door self-closing devices, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas utility shutoff tools, though these were all abated by 2009. More recent activity at the property has been documented through multiple 311 calls in late 2024, primarily concerning parking violations, sidewalk issues, and an illegal construction complaint. While most parking enforcement calls resulted in either citations being issued or officers being unable to locate the reported violations, there was one instance of a sidewalk defect due to a utility job by SF Water Department in November 2024.

A particularly notable building complaint from November 2024 regarding "illegal construction no permit exceeds permit scope" was transferred to the Department of Building Inspection for tracking and resolution. The property's history includes successive claims of illegal units, with multiple tenant complaints filed between 1999 and 2013, suggesting ongoing management challenges regarding unit compliance and safety standards. The building's documented permit history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with the most significant recent changes occurring between 2010-2011 to address the illegal unit situation.
