1221 Newhall St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 1221 Newhall Street in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Rhonda Faye Harris Williams, was constructed in 1990 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over its history. Recent notable improvements include the installation of a 9.775 kW solar PV system with roof-mounted panels in 2022, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a complete reroofing in 2018 and substantial interior renovations in 2015 that encompassed electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, flooring, drywall repairs, and painting.

The 2015 renovation included extensive electrical upgrades such as smoke detector installations and new light fixtures, along with plumbing improvements for sinks, toilets, and bathtubs. The property has experienced several serious maintenance issues over the years, most notably during 2011-2013 when it faced multiple violations related to heating system failures, ceiling damage, mold problems, and termite concerns, all of which were eventually abated. An incident in 2014 involved a leaking water heater that disrupted hot water service for tenants, though this issue was promptly resolved.

Historical complaints from 2001 indicated problems with washing machine drainage, though these were also resolved. The building has encountered sporadic fire safety concerns, with blocked exits reported in 2022 and 2023, and a hoarding violation in 2022, though the 2023 blocked exits issue was corrected quickly. While the property has maintained active permits for various improvements, including the recent solar installation, it has also required periodic attention to fire safety compliance and building maintenance. The most recent activity at the property has been limited to regular municipal services and waste management issues in early 2025, indicating typical building operations.
