115 Hearst Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 115 Hearst Avenue in the Sunnyside neighborhood is a three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Louis and Katya Cornejo. The building has undergone several significant changes and improvements over the years, with the most recent major development occurring in 2023 when documentation was completed to establish legal use as a four-unit R-2 occupancy. This followed a 2021 permit application to legalize an undocumented one-bedroom unit on the second floor, with previous records indicating unauthorized rental activity and short-term rentals issues that were addressed through enforcement actions.

Between 2019-2022, the building underwent substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom reconfigurations, the addition of a half-bath, window replacements, and HVAC system upgrades. The property has faced some regulatory challenges, notably a series of lead paint-related violations in 2019 during renovation work, which were resolved within a few weeks. Earlier building systems issues were documented and addressed through various permits, including plumbing problems in 2012 related to furnace and water heater installations.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including multiple roofing projects in the 1990s, recent plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2019, and street space repairs in 2009. Recent municipal service requests from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning, debris removal, and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting that the property's immediate surroundings are receiving regular municipal attention. The most recent planning record from 2021 documents the completion of facade window replacements and interior improvements to Unit 1, while a 2024 planning record indicates the review of legalizing four existing units in the building. The property appears to be maintaining compliance with most regulatory requirements following the resolution of past violations, though ongoing monitoring of open service requests from 2024 related to street conditions and utilities is warranted.
