1526 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1526 Great Highway in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a completed reroofing project in 2022 costing $24,700. The property has a concerning history of stairway safety issues, particularly between 2012-2013, when there were multiple complaints about metal stairway replacements that allegedly did not meet code requirements, including reports of collapses and safety hazards that reportedly injured tenants. These issues led to a building permit in 2013 to address staircase repairs and compliance concerns.

Earlier violations from 2000-2002 documented various maintenance problems including defective windows and doors, damaged walls, mold/mildew issues, and plumbing concerns, all of which were abated by April 2000. The building's infrastructure maintenance has included electrical work in 2006 to replace an open service conduit weatherhead. More recent history (2021-2025) shows ongoing environmental and maintenance challenges in the vicinity of the building, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the street, including reports of abandoned vehicles in 2021-2022.

There have been some quality of life complaints reported through 311, including noise issues and an encampment situation in late 2024. However, these recent calls are primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions rather than building-specific maintenance issues. The property has not had any recorded fire incidents requiring response, though there was one false alarm noted in the records. The building, constructed in 1954 and classified as a two-story apartment building with 5 to 14 units, is currently owned by John Wu.
