1715-1717 Mckinnon Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1715-1717 McKinnon Avenue is a century-old, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2017, the property experienced serious tenant complaints regarding mold, electrical issues, and inadequate utilities, which led to building violations that required the removal of an illegal porch canopy and storage shed in 2019 at a cost of $5,000.

The building underwent substantial improvements in 2013-2014, including the installation of solar panels and new electrical infrastructure with the addition of two 125A subpanels. More recent maintenance work includes the replacement of water heaters in 2019, spot sewer repairs in 2021, and various electrical and plumbing system updates. The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges and violations, particularly during the 2011-2017 period when multiple housing code violations were documented, including issues with plumbing, electrical systems, heating, security, and interior surfaces.

The property owner implemented some improvements following these violations, including extending eaves with skylights and relocating utility appliances to address compliance requirements. Recent records since 2021 show relatively few major building permits or violations, suggesting improved maintenance practices. However, there have been ongoing issues with the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2022-2024 regarding general cleaning, parking violations, and street maintenance. The most recent building permit activity was focused on removing the canopy and storage shed in 2019, which was part of the resolution to past violations.
