1576 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 24-unit multi-family residential building at 1576 Great Highway in the Outer Sunset, owned by Khostovan Ali & Fatemah, has undergone several significant improvements and faced numerous maintenance challenges since its construction in 1975. Most recently, in May 2023, the building addressed window issues by replacing/repairing eight front windows to comply with energy efficiency standards. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades in 2018-2019, though there remain periodic fire safety concerns, with the latest violation issued in October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements.

Recent tenant complaints have raised concerns about window functionality and water leakage, with a persistent complaint filed in February 2023 about windows causing water damage and mold issues, and another complaint in May 2023 regarding window sealing problems. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing problems (such as a bathroom flood in 2014 and waste line replacement work), electrical and fire safety violations, and pest control challenges. A notable cluster of violations occurred in late 2018, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, lighting, combustible storage, sanitation, and alarm systems, though these were abated by June 2019.

More recent issues have included concerns about raccoons gaining access to the building (July 2024) and ongoing management concerns, with an active complaint from October 2024 about the lack of an on-site manager. The building's fire safety systems have required regular attention, with multiple violations related to alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler/standpipe systems documented between 2016 and 2023, though most have been corrected. While structural improvements such as window upgrades and soft-story compliance demonstrate ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure, the persistent nature of some maintenance issues and the recent management concerns warrant attention.
