271 Maynard St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 271 Maynard Street in the Excelsior neighborhood was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by the Allen R Honig Revocable Trust. The property features two stories and has undergone at least one significant infrastructure upgrade in 2009, when a solar panel system was installed consisting of 10 roof-mounted PV modules with a total capacity of 2.16 kW.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent months, with particular attention needed for an inadequately maintained exterior (as noted in an October 2024 housing inspection), and two reports in October 2024 regarding overgrown trees affecting the sidewalk. There has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations and towing requests for driveway blocking incidents between October and December 2024, including a citation issued on November 1, 2024. The property has also been associated with significant tenant buyout activity, with three recorded buyouts in recent years: two units involved in a $75,000 buyout in February 2024, and two units for $15,000 in June 2021, with a third buyout at 274 Maynard Street noted in January 2025.

The urgent nature of the buyouts, particularly the 2024 buyout, suggests possible pressing tenancy issues in the immediate area. Additionally, there has been ongoing attention to urban forestry matters near the property, with one tree-related case remaining open as of October 2024. While the solar panel installation demonstrates some investment in green technology, the combination of parking enforcement issues, maintenance concerns, and frequent tenant buyouts may indicate various challenges within the building's management and surrounding area.
