1779-1781 Mckinnon Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1779-1781 McKinnon Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Neil & Maryann Laughlin Tr. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably in 2018 when multiple violations were filed regarding building safety and habitability, including problems with heating systems, handrails, windows, and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.

While many of these violations were addressed and abated by January 2019, one violation related to structural maintenance remains active as of the last records. The building underwent some important modifications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the removal of an illegal unit in 1993 and efforts to legalize its four dwelling units in 1988 (though this permit ultimately expired). More recent maintenance activities include the replacement of a wall heater in 2018 and several repair efforts, though the property has continued to experience some infrastructure challenges.

In late 2023, there was a sewage backup issue recorded, and there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and sidewalk parking violations in the vicinity. The building's historical maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing various maintenance issues, though some permits from the past, such as the reroofing work from 1993, have expired without completion. The property's planning records indicate an exception was granted to legalize a rear yard structure, with the appeal upheld and approved.
