1288-1290 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1288-1290 2nd Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Paul & Susan Galassi Trust, has a construction history dating back to 1908. The building has undergone several significant upgrades over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in 2000 ($15,650), the installation of two new forced air furnaces in 2019, and various street space permits in 2007 and 2020.

There have been two notable instances of building violations: a 2005 case involving security matters (requiring deadlatch locks and primary locking devices) and a 2010 routine inspection that identified multiple issues including problems with stairs, garbage receptacles, gas meter instructions, and interior surfaces - all of which were abated by July 2010. In recent years, there have been some concerning events related to the property. In April 2020, during the shelter-in-place order, there were two complaints about non-essential construction work (painting/remodeling) occurring on the property.

More recently, the building has experienced recurring sewer issues, with five documented sewage backup incidents between 2018 and 2024, including two in 2023-2024 showing vents as the source of the problem. The property has been the subject of various 311 calls for street cleaning, waste removal, and general maintenance issues outside the building, including reports of human/animal waste in 2019 and multiple sewer-related complaints indicating possible infrastructure or maintenance challenges. The most recent documented maintenance work was the 2019 furnace replacement, though no major building improvements have been recorded in the past four years, which is notable for a building of this age.
