1440-1490 Mckinnon Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The three-story apartment building at 1440-1490 McKinnon Avenue in Bayview, currently owned by Bayview Preservation LP, has undergone significant recent improvements including two major permits issued in 2024 for interior unit upgrades ($482,646) and reroofing work ($74,880), along with completed repairs to address dryrot damage under an exterior deck ($15,000) earlier that year. The building has a substantial history of maintenance and improvement work, including comprehensive renovations in 2007 valued at $590,100, which included new windows, siding, and various internal upgrades. Several electrical and plumbing upgrades were completed between 2007-2018, including a 400-amp electrical service installation and plumbing system renovations in 2007, backflow installation in 2017, and multiple furnace replacements in 2011.

The property has faced several challenges over the years, most notably during 2017-2018 when it experienced multiple violations and complaints regarding pest infestations (cockroaches and rodents), egress obstructions, and various interior maintenance issues. These violations, which included concerns about smoke detectors and structural maintenance, were officially abated in January 2019. More recent complaints from 2018-2019 primarily focused on common area cleanliness and maintenance.

The building has experienced several fire department responses over the years, though none resulted in civilian injuries, including incidents related to carbon monoxide, electrical issues, and one concerning outside rubbish. Recent municipal service requests from late 2024 indicate ongoing attention to the exterior condition of the property, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues being resolved by city services. Tenants should note the building's history of maintenance improvements and recent refurbishments, while also being aware of past pest and maintenance challenges that have since been addressed.
