66-68 Montezuma St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 66-68 Montezuma Street in Bernal Heights is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908 and currently owned by Michael A. Knysh. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, with particular attention to structural elements.

In 2003, there were serious concerns when a roof structure over the rear yard deck collapsed, blocking an exit from unit 68, though this was abated within two months. Multiple repair projects have been documented, including work on stairs in 2013 (cost: $15,000), repairs to rotted stairs and facade work in 2012 (cost: $5,000), and earlier deck repairs in 2003 (cost: $850). A building inspection complaint in June 2013 noted unpermitted interior work and plumbing modifications.

More recently, in 2023, there was a sewage backup incident and the building has had multiple complaints regarding waste receptacles being left out continuously, which were documented in DPW records. Two sidewalk defect issues were reported in 2022, relating to a missing utility vault cover and lifted sidewalk conditions. While there was a fire complaint in July 2020 regarding combustible materials, it was determined to have no merit. The property has maintained required permits and complied with most inspections, though some historical permits, such as a 1995 reroofing permit, are listed as expired.
