1522 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 1522 Funston Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Chiu Yee Wan and built in 1981, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2020 and 2022, there was a sequence of unauthorized window replacements at the front facade that triggered multiple complaints and violation notices.

This situation required three separate permits to resolve: the original permit from December 2020 for front window replacements ($5,000), a June 2020 permit for rear window replacements ($6,000), and a subsequent revision in August 2022 to modify the front window materials to wood composite ($45,448). The violation complaint (202034741) was not abated until July 2023, following a director's hearing in September 2022. The building has also experienced recurring sewer issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents involving the 4-inch vent system between 2011 and 2022, including a noted incident in July 2022 that was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

Additionally, there was a complaint in 2012 regarding unauthorized construction work in the basement and upper floors, though this particular issue was resolved within five days. More recently, in October 2024, permits were issued for roofing work valued at $36,612. Throughout its history, the building has had typical urban maintenance issues including street cleaning matters and one report of an abandoned vehicle, though these are not directly related to building conditions or management.
