1251 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, this two-unit residential building at 1251 Anza Street is a 1939 two-story flats and duplex structure currently owned by the Roberta Lee Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history includes several significant events, most notably a recent sewage backup incident in March 2024 involving a 4-inch sewer vent, which was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

In 2023-2024, there has been a concerning pattern of street cleanliness issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and waste requiring municipal intervention, including instances of human/animal waste and needles. The building has undergone several permitted modifications over its lifetime, including a top-floor kitchen and bath remodel in 1992, stair repairs in 1984, and more recently, approved variances in 2021 to repair and legally enclose existing noncompliant three-story staircases at the rear of both this building and its neighboring unit, though the status and execution of these repairs require clarification as they are not reflected in recent permits.

While the property's fire incident history shows one false alarm, there have been no reported civilian injuries related to fire events. The building has generated minimal parking-related complaints, with only two incidents recorded in recent years - one regarding a blocked driveway in September 2023 and another illegal parking incident in September 2024, both of which were resolved with citations. The most substantial concerns over the past year have centered around street cleanliness and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, with multiple service calls to address various types of debris and waste, suggesting an ongoing challenge with neighborhood upkeep that may impact resident comfort, particularly in regard to access to public areas around the building.
