1218 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1218 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945, currently owned by Palarca Ria Bello & Charles. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a 2007 renovation that involved repairing front stucco and replacing windows with energy-efficient double-pane vinyl ones (U-factor = 0.67), a roofing project completed in 1995, and the installation of Alcoa siding on the front in 1985. In 2009, electrical upgrades were completed, including the installation of two 100-amp PG&E meters for the duplex units.

The building's recent history shows no major internal issues reported through official channels, though there have been several external maintenance and parking-related incidents. The most recent maintenance concerns include a 2024 incident involving garbage and debris removal from the vicinity. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with three reports of driveway blocking between 2019-2020, though officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles in each instance.

Other external incidents include graffiti on a city receptacle in April 2024 that required resolution, and a noise complaint in March 2020. A potentially concerning incident occurred in May 2022 when an environmental health service request was made regarding possible methamphetamine-related activity, though this was determined to require law enforcement investigation first and was subsequently transitioned to SFPD jurisdiction. The building and its immediate surroundings appear to be generally well-maintained, with most issues being related to street conditions and parking rather than building-specific concerns.
