UPDATE: From the comments section…

Mr Keyman was my father, Carlos Vela, he originally worked for one of the major newspapers in El Salvador. He also was also a successful Mission real estate agent, at one time. He was proud being a local entrepreneur and self employed. He had several different businesses, over different periods of time, all in the Mission. He was well known by the local latino community, in his time. He passed away in 2005.

Is there a way I can get a copy of this photo?

SF Magazine reports:

Though S.F. has been a challenging environment for renters in recent years, the unique details of this eviction are especially striking. The question, “What’s my house worth?” becomes painfully relevant for tenants like Malliett facing the whims of new landlords. In her case, Mathieu Verbeeck, a VP of product development at Mubi, and Catherine Crevels, a marketing manager at Intuit, are leveraging an unusual angle to initiate evictions. They allege that Malliett and her daughter constitute a “nuisance” because their home lacks the necessary permits—a claim made despite laws that protect tenants from being evicted on the grounds of residing in unpermitted units. The landlords’ innovative tactic is setting off alarms among tenants’ rights groups, fearing a new, troublesome precedent.

“This is the first time we’ve seen a tenant accused of nuisance for living in an illegal unit,” says tenant rights attorney Joseph Tobener, whose firm is representing Malliett. And what, pray tell, is the nuisance cited in the legal notice? “Defendant’s usage of gas or electrical appliances is dangerous.” That’s right: Only in San Francisco do you stand to lose your rent-controlled apartment for boiling water.
