1401 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1401 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Lew Family Trust, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1958. Most notably, there has been ongoing concern about improper vehicle-related activities at the property, with recent complaints in 2023 regarding an illegal car repair shop and sidewalk obstruction, though these complaints are currently marked as not active.

The building has a documented history of structural issues, including a significant fire incident in 1996 that required repairs to the back stairs and wood siding, and earlier repairs to back stairs in 1994. More recent maintenance concerns have emerged, including a mold and mildew complaint filed in January 2024, and a housing-related complaint in 2022 that was transferred to the Department of Public Health's Environmental Health division.

The property has faced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including an exterior painting violation in 2016, and multiple instances of parking enforcement requests in 2023, particularly regarding a silver Porsche allegedly parking on the sidewalk. Historical records show earlier challenges such as graffiti incidents in 2008 and 2010, and instances of abandoned vehicles on the street in 2014 and 2017, though these past issues are now resolved. The building's permit and complaint history suggests a pattern of structural maintenance needs and compliance challenges, particularly related to exterior maintenance and unauthorized activities on and around the property.
