68 Cayuga Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

68 Cayuga Avenue is a 2-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Seosamh Obriain. The two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone numerous repairs and renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2021-2023, including siding repairs, window replacements, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage and electrical concerns, with multiple complaints about leaks, including a notable case of ceiling leaks affecting electrical fixtures in 2009-2010, and more recently in 2024.

The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) between 2022 and 2023 regarding lead safety concerns (clean-up standards, signage, containment systems) that were ultimately abated. There have also been historical issues with unauthorized basement modifications, including a 2009 complaint about an illegal unit with inadequate safety features and unapproved utilities, though some of these concerns were addressed through subsequent permits. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing exterior issues, with multiple permits for siding repairs and roof maintenance, though recent 311 calls in 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with garbage and debris management around the property.

Additional historical issues include electrical inspection needs after flooding in 2004, various plumbing repairs, and multiple instances of garbage management complaints between 2009 and 2025. The property has been the subject of two tenant buyouts, one in 2016 for $19,000 and another in 2021 for $70,000, suggesting significant changes to unit occupancy over time. Recent complaints from 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding exterior maintenance and debris management, while past issues from 2011 regarding heating problems and basement access have been noted as resolved. The building's compliance history shows a mix of proactive repairs and responses to regulatory requirements, with most recent violations being addressed promptly through appropriate channels.
