1263 21st Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1263 21st Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by the Joseph/pallivathucal Trust 201. The building has a history of moisture-related issues, with multiple reports of water damage, mold, and ceiling problems documented between 2012 and 2013, including leaks from both above-unit fixtures and lightwells. A significant inspection in April 2012 revealed several violations requiring attention, including the need to repair a garage ceiling membrane with fire-resistant materials, address water damage, replace fire extinguishers, and correct various interior surface issues such as mold/mildew on ceilings and standing water problems.

These violations were all officially noted in June 2012, with a director hearing scheduled for January 2013. The property has undergone some maintenance and improvements over the years, including a kitchen remodeling project in 2012 that involved new cabinets, sink, faucet, and electrical upgrades. Earlier maintenance records show a reroofing project in 1998, though this permit has since expired.

The building also had issues requiring attention beyond maintenance matters, including a 2009 complaint about lack of heat, and various routine inspections. More recent history (2019-2024) indicates primarily external and parking-related issues, such as driveway blocking incidents, street cleaning needs, and temporary moving sign requests. The most recent external service request was for garbage and debris removal in December 2024, which has been resolved.
