1400 Keith St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential property at 1400 Keith Street, owned by Guadalupe Hernandez, is a one-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1924 in the Bayview neighborhood. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent significant concerns occurring in 2022 including hanging wires creating safety hazards and various repairs to address code enforcement complaints. In 2018, multiple violations were recorded including inadequate heating, plumbing issues, and the need for smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though these were abated within two months.

The property underwent several modifications between 2008-2009 to legalize additional rooms and make foundation repairs, with corresponding permits for plumbing and electrical work. Earlier history shows attempts to convert the building between 1994-1995, along with various maintenance issues being addressed through building permits over the years. More recent concerns have been primarily focused on exterior maintenance, with complaints in 2024 and 2023 regarding peeling paint.

The building has been subject to multiple 311 calls in recent months (January 2025) primarily related to garbage and debris. There were also several fire safety inspections, with violations documented in 2018 and 2021 related to illegal occupancy and blocked exits, though these were corrected. A brief period of concern about potential overcrowding was noted in multiple complaints from 2021, suggesting possible unauthorized unit modifications or occupancy issues, but most building violations have been addressed promptly through various permits and corrections. The property has had regular maintenance and improvement work done over the years, including window replacements, garage repairs, and water heater updates, with the most recent building permit in 2022 addressing multiple code compliance issues.
