1436-1438 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 1436-1438 17th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1932 and has undergone several significant modifications and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. The most recent major structural work was completed in 2016, involving repairs to the back staircase costing $2,500. In the summer of 2010, the property was the subject of two simultaneous building complaints regarding unauthorized concrete work in the front setback area, which were subsequently resolved through legal compliance work costing $2,000.

Earlier improvements include a substantial ground floor renovation in 2002 adding a laundry room, playroom, exercise room, and full bathroom for $20,000, as well as a horizontal addition in 1989 to enclose a small porch. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of sewer-related problems in late 2021, including a sewage backup and water leak that required intervention from PUC Sewer Operations. In 2022, there were multiple reports regarding parking violations and bin management issues, with some cases being successfully resolved through enforcement actions.

There were also concerns regarding damaged trees in May 2022, with at least one case remaining open. A fire-related complaint was filed in 2007 but was resolved within a month. The property's history reflects a pattern of reactive maintenance responses, particularly in addressing compliance issues and infrastructure problems as they arise.
