11-13 Santa Marina St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 11-13 Santa Marina Street is a multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, consisting of 4 units over a ground floor commercial space, built in 1950 and owned by Guadalupe Schmitt. The building has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent significant events occurring in 2023-2024 involving multiple reports of sewage back-ups from catch basins, and ongoing sanitation concerns evidenced by several street cleaning requests for loose garbage.

Of particular note was a significant cluster of building violations in 2017 relating to unauthorized construction, including the illegal enclosure of a side yard, lead paint hazards, and various interior surface issues, though these violations were marked as abated by September 2017. The building has experienced recurring infrastructure challenges, including a 2019 complaint about water leaks from windows and ceilings, and previous concerns about mold, inadequate heating, and missing fire safety equipment documented in a 2005 complaint (which was only fully addressed by 2012). Historical permits show regular maintenance work including reroofing in 1996 and 2001, fence replacement in 2017, and sewer repairs in 2018, though some permits are marked as expired or not completed.

The property has also been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding sanitation issues in recent years, with the most recent being reported in March 2023. There was also a notable complaint in 2009 regarding unpermitted gas line and electrical work, and another in 2015 about potentially unauthorized units in garages causing fire safety concerns, though these complaints were marked as not active. While some improvement work has been documented, the recurring nature of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident safety.
