1607-1609 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1607-1609 Broderick Street is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1900 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The two-story flat/duplex is currently owned by Victor Ume-ukeje.

The building's maintenance history includes termite repairs completed in 1987, though more concerning is a long-standing housing issue from 1998 involving leaks in two bathrooms and mold growth, which was not officially abated until 2009. More recent building health concerns have emerged in early 2024, with complaints about mold and mildew, as well as a rodent/insect infestation, though these cases were transferred to the Department of Public Health's Environmental Health division for further investigation. The property has experienced various environmental and safety issues over the years, including multiple fire complaints between 2017-2019 that ranged from alleged illegal occupancy to hazardous materials concerns, though all were either found to have no merit or resulted from no access to the building.

There have been recurring issues with sidewalk parking, particularly involving the same grey Hyundai vehicle in late 2023, resulting in at least one citation. Most recently, in late 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on or near the property, including abandoned furniture and a refrigerator, all of which have been resolved. The building's two-unit configuration and its age of over 120 years suggest it has undergone various maintenance and repair needs over the decades, with more recent concerns focusing on health-related issues rather than structural ones.
