1609-1617 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The four-unit apartment building at 1609-1617 Anza St in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Joseph/pallivathucal 2013 T, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges over the past two decades. Recent work includes a substantial electrical upgrade in 2015, increasing service from 100A to 200A and installing new electrical panels, as well as comprehensive remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms in both 2015 and 2013.

Of particular concern was a serious water leakage and mold issue reported in September 2020, which resulted in multiple violations including damaged ceilings, water heater problems, and interior surface issues; while these violations were marked as abated in December 2021, they raise questions about the building's maintenance history. The building has undergone regular maintenance and safety updates, including seismic strapping of water heaters in 2008, installation of motion sensor lights in stairways in 2010, and multiple window, stair, and roofing improvements between 2003 and 2015. Historical records show the building has experienced various compliance issues, including a 2015 electrical complaint regarding improper installation and a 2013 plumbing violation for unauthorized remodeling work.

In the year 2000, the building was cited for several violations that were subsequently resolved, including security lock requirements and electrical wiring issues. The property has been the subject of multiple parking enforcement cases in recent years, with several citations issued for sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The most recent recorded issues primarily involve routine municipal service requests for street cleaning and parking enforcement, with no recent fire incidents or hazardous conditions reported.
