1409 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1409 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by John Woo and Bo Lim Seto. The building's maintenance history shows several significant issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns centering around water damage and mold problems. In early 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding water-related issues, including water intrusion affecting bathroom areas with reports of mushrooms and black mold formation, though these complaints were subsequently marked as not active.

This followed a similar pattern from 2022, when multiple violations were recorded in January 2022 regarding interior surfaces including mold/mildew on ceilings, floor covering issues, water damage sources, and problems with various interior finishes, all of which were officially abated by March 2022. The building's repair history includes attention to water-related issues, as evidenced by a 1999 permit for dry rot repairs and repairs to weather proofing on both the skylight access door (recorded in early 2024) and weather proofing on siding (2022). The property has shown ongoing concerns with water management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding sewer issues in 2022-2023, though these were typically marked as not requiring action or outside the jurisdiction of the Water Department.

Building safety and maintenance records show a series of violations primarily focused on fire safety and interior maintenance in 2022, including the need for fire extinguishers, electrical panel maintenance, and various other interior repairs, all of which were resolved within approximately six weeks. Earlier maintenance history shows reroofing work completed in 1988, and both roof and water-related issues appear to be persistent challenges for this property. The building's only recorded fire incident, during which no incidents were found upon arrival, suggests that while fire safety violations were previously noted, there has been no significant history of fire-related emergencies.
