1209 37th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

This two-unit residential building, located at 1209 37th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1945 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex property. The current owner is Vivian Chan Ko Tr. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, including a complete reroofing in 1991, the replacement of two furnaces in 2011 (serving both units), and major plumbing work in 2009 addressing the underground sewer line and water main line.

Most recently, in June 2023, the building received an upgrade with the replacement of wood siding in the backyard, installing approximately 500 square feet of hardie plank siding at a cost of $8,000. The property has experienced a series of maintenance and environmental challenges in recent months. Between July and November 2024, there were multiple incidents requiring attention, including graffiti removal, sidewalk blockage, and garbage clean-up.

Notably, there were six documented cases of graffiti on or near the building between September 2023 and September 2024, though all were resolved through proper channels. The building experienced some external maintenance issues in 2024, including reports of a blocked sidewalk and a bsm complaint (urban forestry) that remains open as of November 2024. While these recent incidents may impact the resident experience, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been properly logged and addressed through appropriate city services and departments. The building's historical maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements, with no documented major structural or safety concerns.
