1490-1492 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1490-1492 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Sherman J Hoo and Helen Poon, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1947. Most recently, on December 6, 2024, permits were issued for the replacement of ten front windows with energy-efficient aluminum clad wood windows, representing a $10,000 upgrade to the building's exterior.

Earlier renovations included electrical system improvements in 2007 with the installation of a 200-amp service and two-meter pack, termite-related repairs to the upper front balcony and garage area in 2008, and structural work in 1986 involving the replacement of floor joists and frieze blocking. The building experienced several maintenance and service issues in recent years, including a sewage backup incident in October 2020, a building exterior maintenance complaint in November 2020 (which was determined to be a private fence issue), and sidewalk defects reported in January 2024 that remain open.

Multiple parking-related incidents have been documented near the property throughout 2020-2024, including blocked driveways and illegal parking, though some cases were invalid due to incomplete reporting information. The building's historical records show earlier work including reroofing in 1994 and floor joist repairs in 1986, indicating regular maintenance over its nearly eight-decade history.
