707-711 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The multi-family residential building at 707-711 San Jose Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Capitan Living Trust, is a three-story, six-unit apartment building constructed in 1904. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a $43,800 reroofing project completed in 2024.

Other notable renovations include the replacement of 18 windows with energy-efficient fiberglass wood clad windows in 2014, and multiple interior improvements in 1999 involving kitchen and bath remodeling as well as plaster replacement. The building has a documented history of safety concerns related to blocked exits, with nine fire complaints recorded between 2013 and 2024, though most were promptly corrected or found to have no merit. A potentially concerning incident occurred in 2013 when construction work was reported without proper permits on a second-floor apartment.

Recent activity at the property shows a pattern of exterior maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues (including instances of human waste) requiring attention from street cleaning services. The building has undergone regular routine inspections of common areas by Housing Inspection Services in 2008 and 2009, and various construction permits have been properly completed and documented over the years, including significant structural work such as the rebuilding of rear wooden stairs in 1998 and foundation work improvements in 1998. While the property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvement efforts by the ownership, the recurring issue of blocked exits and recent exterior debris concerns are notable points in the building's record.
