407-409 Precita Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 407-409 Precita Ave in Bernal Heights is a century-old, two-story duplex built in 1909 and currently under the ownership of the Williams Malit Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations to maintain and enhance its functionality, most notably the recent (December 2024) application for partial foundation repair and front step replacement, along with preparations for future bathroom and EV charging infrastructure.

The most substantial modification occurred between 2011-2012 when the building was reverted to its 1967 two-unit configuration, including the addition of new kitchens, entry doors, and upgraded egress systems across multiple levels. Subsequent improvements included a closet-to-bathroom conversion on the third floor (2016), exterior siding installation (2013), and various electrical upgrades including a 200-amp service upgrade with comprehensive appliance and safety system installations (2012). The property has experienced several parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls regarding blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2018-2023, though responding officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles.

Historical records show the building has been maintained in compliance with regulations, with closed cases indicating no violations regarding street trees and minimal issues related to parking space requirements for the second unit. The building's permit history demonstrates regular maintenance and modernization efforts, with particular attention to safety improvements such as smoke detector installations and electrical system upgrades. The most recent permits filed in late 2024 suggest ongoing commitment to property upkeep and infrastructure improvements.
