731-739 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 731-739 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Michael A. Knysh, was constructed in 1900 and includes two stories with commercial space.

The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance updates in recent years, most notably a comprehensive dry rot repair project completed in March 2024 costing $49,943, and barrier remediation work completed in September 2023. The building has a history of addressing various maintenance issues, including the replacement of a sewer line in 2012 and multiple street space permits issued in 2014. A notable cluster of violations was documented in March 2008, revealing multiple issues including plumbing, electrical, and interior surface problems, though all were abated by August 2014.

The property has faced periodic challenges with its exterior infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects and street pavement issues, along with reports of damaged parking meters. Historical complaints and violations have mostly been resolved, including a lead paint issue from 2013-2014, and routine inspections have been regularly conducted through housing inspection services. The most recent construction activity demonstrates ongoing maintenance diligence, though the building's age and compliance history suggest regular upkeep is required to maintain its structural integrity and habitable conditions.
