1239 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1239 Cole Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1916, currently owned by Jeffrey L and Louisa Reade. The property has undergone several maintenance and repair activities over the years, most notably in 2006 when a deck and firewall were replaced at a cost of $6,500.

Historical permits from 1989 indicate re-roofing work was planned, though that permit has since expired. A significant concern has emerged as of December 2024, with an active housing inspection complaint reporting issues of window leaks, water damage to walls, and mold, which may pose health and safety risks to residents. The building's location has experienced various external challenges in recent years, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily relating to tree maintenance issues, including three reports of damaged or fallen trees, and several instances of garbage and debris in public areas requiring city intervention.

A notable safety incident on record is a carbon monoxide incident (424) for which no civilian injuries were reported, though the lack of specific date details makes it difficult to assess its relevance to current conditions. A historical complaint from 1998 regarding a home business was resolved within three months. While the property has maintained its basic infrastructure through periodic repairs, the recent water damage and mold issues represent the most significant current concern affecting resident comfort and safety.
