1340 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1340 20th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1969 and currently owned by the Fred & Rosa S Suessmann 94 Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance events over the years, including a water heater installation in 2017 and reroofing work in 2000. A series of violations in the early 2000s highlighted safety concerns, particularly related to fire hazards, with multiple instances of combustible storage issues in the garage area and under parked vehicles recorded in 2001 and 2003, though these were eventually abated.

The building has experienced recurring plumbing and maintenance issues, including multiple water heater concerns (2017) and problems with the master bedroom toilet (2012), which has been a documented issue for several years. There have also been periodic inspections revealing various issues such as mold problems (2008, 2013), window deterioration (2007), and roof maintenance needs (2003) including loose clay tiles. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance requirements, with the most recent permit activity including responses to various building and plumbing complaints.

The property has had multiple 311 calls regarding different issues, including hot water problems in 2017, while exterior maintenance concerns have been addressed through several Recology and DPW service requests. Bi-annual routine inspections and tenant complaints have documented various maintenance needs, suggesting an ongoing pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, as well as periodic concerns about mold and moisture problems. Most recent complaints and observed issues appear to have been addressed in a timely manner according to available records, though historical patterns indicate this building has required regular attention to maintain acceptable living conditions.
