55-61 Highland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story multi-family residential building at 55-61 Highland Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Elbert M Yee Revoc Tr, was built in 1940 and contains 5 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of water-related problems in 2014 that required substantial repairs, including replacement of sheetrock, furnaces, hot water heaters, and flooring in multiple apartments, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $15,000.

More recent concerns emerged in late 2023, when multiple violations were filed in December regarding interior maintenance, security, and safety features, including requirements for paint maintenance, sink repairs, smoke detectors, deadlatch locks, and structural maintenance, though these violations are marked as "Not Active" with an abatement date of November 2024. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to infrastructure improvements, including window replacements in 2013 (four windows), stairway lighting installations in 2010, and a 200-amp service upgrade in 2008.

Previous complaints have included issues with lead-based paint (2013), shower usability (2010), and various interior surface maintenance needs. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily involve street and sidewalk cleaning issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and pavement defects, though these are external to the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and more significant repairs, with recent inspections identifying multiple areas needing attention, particularly regarding interior surfaces and safety systems.
