112-114 Palm Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 3-unit apartment building at 112-114 Palm Ave, managed by Iwata Management LLC, is a two-story multi-family residential structure built in 1908 located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The building's maintenance and safety history reveals several significant issues worthy of attention. In 2021, there were serious concerns about construction work being performed without proper permits, including materials blocking the sidewalk, though this complaint was abated within a day.

Two separate complaints in September 2017 were filed regarding illegal units and dangerous construction work in the basement, while an electrical safety issue was reported in 2000 involving circuit breakers that created fire hazard concerns when attempting to heat the building. More recently, several tree-related issues have been documented, with a dead tree posted for removal in October 2023 and previous concerns about aging privet trees in 2020. The building has experienced multiple parking-related incidents, particularly between 2019-2023, though these were primarily issues with blocked driveways rather than direct building-related concerns.

The property has undergone some maintenance work, including a completed $8,000 project in 2016 to replace siding on the south side exterior wall. There appear to be ongoing challenges with the building's infrastructure, as evidenced by three reports in 2023 regarding curb defects (though these were not confirmed due to vehicle obstruction) and an open temporary sign request from July 2020. The combination of historical electrical issues, unauthorized construction work, and the most recent tree removal requirement suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the building has also undergone some authorized exterior improvements.
