424-426 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 424-426 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Billie J. Hayes, has a history dating back to 1900, classified as a Flat & Store with 4 or fewer units.

The property has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over the years, with the most recent being an accessibility improvement in December 2022 to comply with the ABE program, including the installation of powered door operators and adjustments to the sidewalk slope at a cost of $10,000. Prior improvements include various safety-related upgrades between 2002-2005, such as deck rail modifications, step repairs, and dry rot repairs, as well as electrical work including a 100-amp underground conversion in 2004. The building has experienced several regulatory and safety concerns, most notably a 2014 complaint regarding bar capacity and outdoor heating equipment, and a 2009 complaint about unpermitted scaffolding and paint removal.

In 2005, multiple complaints were filed regarding the deck's condition, including concerns about its height, railing safety, and stair stability, though these issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent repairs and modifications. Recent complaints and 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to exterior building maintenance issues such as graffiti, sidewalk debris, and a water leak, with the most recent being a traffic engineering request from January 2024. The property holds an ABC Type 48 license for bar use, approved as a continuation of existing operations without authorizing new bar use at the site, and has undergone various inspections and compliance checks, including one violation in November 2005 that was subsequently closed.
