1605 Keith St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1605 Keith Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Lindsay Andrew Michael. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, most notably in 2018, when multiple health and safety violations were documented, including mold and mildew on walls and ceilings, problematic windows, an insecure front door, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate heating, insufficient lighting, and plumbing issues such as a malfunctioning sink.

These violations, filed through complaint number 201866761, were not fully abated until August 2019, following multiple Notices of Violation and a period of non-compliance. Additional concerns in 2018-2019 included a heating system failure, as documented through complaint number 201877811, and unsafe electrical conditions with an exposed circuit breaker (complaint number 201926151).

More recently, in early 2025, there has been ongoing street-level maintenance activity near the building, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring attention from city services and Recology. The property has also been the subject of historical regulatory scrutiny, including two conditional use applications (one being a drug rehabilitation facility proposal) in 2005 and 2020, both of which were ultimately cancelled or closed. The building's infrastructure and systems have shown persistent maintenance challenges over recent years, with particular attention needed for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, alongside general upkeep issues as evidenced by the numerous 311 calls for street cleaning and maintenance work.
