835-837 36th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 835-837 36th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1947, currently owned by K & Shirley Lew Gordon. The building has undergone some significant maintenance work over the years, including a $7,000 reroofing project permitted in late 2019, and the installation of a garage door opener in 1999, though this latter work led to a complaint in 1998 about operating without a permit that remained active until 2013.

The property has experienced recurring sewer issues, with three documented incidents between 2020-2024 involving sewage backups from 4-inch vents, including the most recent incidents in February and September 2024. Additional maintenance and cleanliness concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including garbage and debris issues (2024), general cleaning needs (2020), and various environmental health matters.

The building's exterior and surrounding areas have faced typical urban challenges such as graffiti (2020), and complaints about garbage receptacle management (2018), though these issues have generally been resolved through appropriate municipal channels. While the building permits show some attention to maintenance, the recurring nature of the sewer-related incidents suggests this remains an ongoing infrastructure challenge for the property.
