205-207 Bennington St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 205-207 Bennington Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Kenneth A & Susan Kelton, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2016, including the installation of new earthquake gas valves, replacement of windows visible from the street, and electrical upgrade to replace a Federal Pacific panel.

Prior improvements include multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2012-2013, such as bathroom renovations and gas line extensions, and a notable safety retrofit in 2007 involving anchor bolts and plywood stiffening panels for seismic reinforcement, though this permit ultimately expired. Recent records from 2023-2024 show several maintenance and safety concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property, including unresolved issues with lifted sidewalk tree roots (September 2023), a tripping hazard involving waste management equipment (September 2023), and graffiti on the adjacent sidewalk (April 2023).

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with historical records indicating past work on the rear stairs (1984) and various interior improvements. The property experienced some parking-related issues in its surroundings, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and parking violations between 2021 and 2024. The most recent regulatory interactions occurred in early 2024 regarding a rent board fee housing inventory matter, which was resolved with adjustments to the unit count and fees.
