1739-1741 Newhall St, San Francisco, CA 94124

This two-unit residential building, located at 1739-1741 Newhall Street in the Bayview neighborhood, was built in 1931 and is currently owned by Blanca Giron. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Between 2005-2006, substantial improvements were made including basement development ($75,771), comprehensive electrical upgrades, and window repairs, while later improvements in 2013 focused on bathroom ceiling repairs and outdoor lighting.

The building has experienced persistent challenges with unauthorized construction and code compliance, most notably in 2014-2015, when violations were filed regarding an unauthorized foundation/retaining wall and possible illegal kitchen in the lower unit, leading to active abatement proceedings. This case was referred to the City Attorney with a hearing date scheduled for March 2018. The property has also seen multiple gas meter relocations between 2009-2013, with the final work completed in April 2013.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the property, though many of these were resolved without requiring further action. The building's history shows a pattern of improvements spanning from 2005 to 2013, including bathroom renovations, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing modifications, though some permits were either expired or cancelled. The most pressing ongoing concern appears to be the unresolved building violations from 2014-2015 regarding unauthorized construction and potential illegal unit configurations, which have persisted despite various enforcement actions and notifications.
