29-31 Pixley St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 29-31 Pixley St in Cow Hollow is a two-unit, two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1915, currently owned by the Mary Lynn Bell Burke Trust. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and moisture issues in recent years, with multiple complaints documenting water leaks, mold growth, and moisture problems between 2023 and 2024, including significant concerns about plumbing installation violations, water line repairs, and water damage.

These issues appear to be ongoing, with the most recent complaint filed in June 2024 noting problems with plumbing leaks, floorboard joist bowing, weatherproofing, and unpermitted modifications. The building's maintenance history shows various improvements and repairs dating back several decades, including window replacements in 2004, termite repairs in 2003, foundation bolting in 2003, and roofing work in 1996. Historical modifications include removal of basement rooms and deck alterations in the 1980s, though some permits from the 1980s and 1996 are listed as expired.

The property has also faced several regulatory issues, with multiple violations filed in 2024 related to fire safety, interior surfaces, and safety systems, though these violations were marked as not active after being abated in August 2024. A pattern of infrastructure issues is evident from both the building complaints and 311 calls, with multiple reports of water leaks and sewer issues between 2012 and 2024, as well as problems with the sidewalk and tree maintenance noted in 2015 and 2017. The most recent complaints and violations suggest that while some issues have been addressed, there may be persistent concerns regarding the building's plumbing systems, moisture control, and safety features that have required multiple interventions by housing and building inspectors.
