159 Whitney St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit residential building at 159 Whitney Street in Glen Park is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Jason A Kotas. The building's maintenance history includes a significant repair project in 1998 addressing various structural issues including stairs, dry rot, balcony, deck, window, and cabinetry, though this permit has since expired.

More recently, a sewer repair was completed outside the building in March 2008. The property has experienced several incidents over the past two years, with particular attention needed to address vehicle-related and waste management issues in 2022-2024. There have been multiple reports of toters (litter receptacles) being left out continuously in 2022, resulting in outreach and enforcement actions.

The most recent concerns relate to tree maintenance, with multiple reports in late 2023 and 2024 about overgrown trees and property damage, including a significant incident in December 2024 where a tree reportedly hit the building or window. The area has also experienced frequent issues with abandoned vehicles (reported in 2022 and 2024) and various street cleaning matters including graffiti, debris, and a damaged tree situation, all of which have been resolved through regular municipal processes. While the building's major systems appear to have received attention through the sewer repair and earlier maintenance work, the property has experienced ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and neighborhood cleanliness issues, particularly concerning waste receptacle management and tree maintenance.
