148 Prentiss St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 148 Prentiss Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story, single-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Roberto & Emilina Cordero. The building underwent significant modifications between 2010-2011 in response to multiple violations regarding unauthorized dwelling units. These violations included unapproved wiring, plumbing installations, lack of smoke detectors, improper occupancy, and ventilation issues, all of which were documented during inspections in 2010.

The illegal unit removal and subsequent permitted renovations, which cost approximately $40,000, involved converting unauthorized living spaces back to storage and bathroom modifications, along with foundation repairs and bathroom remodeling. The building's systems have seen various improvements, including the installation of a 2.0 kW solar system in 2014, new electrical circuits and fixtures in 2011, and a new furnace in 2011. Earlier maintenance records show roofing work completed in 2006, while historical permits from 1986 indicate exterior painting, deck repairs, and siding replacement.

More recently, there has been a pattern of abandoned vehicle complaints in the vicinity of the property throughout 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles in violation. The building has now complied with all major structural and safety requirements, though the extensive renovation history provides insight into past occupancy issues that have since been resolved. The property's current status shows no active violations or complaints related to the building's structure or systems as of October 2023.
