759 42nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 759 42nd Avenue in the Outer Richmond, constructed in 1947 and currently owned by Horn Family Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of sewer-related incidents, with multiple sewage backup complaints recorded between February and June 2023, including at least four documented cases of 4-inch sewer vent issues.

The building's exterior has undergone some recent improvements, including a permitted project in October 2022 to replace old shingles with new siding, paint trim, and address dry rot, work estimated to cost $5,800. Historically, the property has faced various maintenance challenges, including an overgrown backyard reported in 2019 and 2014, which raised fire hazard concerns, as well as a documented complaint in 1996 regarding windows, roof leaks, and peeling paint that was resolved by early 1997.

The building's electrical system received an upgrade in 2009 with the installation of new 200-amp service, two meters, and two panels. Earlier maintenance records show a reroofing project was completed in 1995. More recent issues have included parking violations, with three citations issued in spring 2023 for sidewalk parking, and some minor animal control matters, including a dead animal service request in August 2024.
