2490-2492 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94116

The two-unit residential building at 2490-2492 Great Highway, located in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood, was constructed in 1950 and is owned by the O'neill Family Survivor's Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance projects over the years, with the most recent being stucco repairs to the front facade in late 2019, addressing both cracking and dry rot issues, following an earlier cancelled permit from June 2019 for similar work valued at $19,000. The building's infrastructure received an upgrade in 2005 with the installation of a 200-amp underground electrical service conversion.

A concerning set of building complaints was reported in March 2010, which included multiple safety and maintenance issues such as inaccessible water heater access, problems with mail access, exposed electrical wiring, absence of smoke detectors, railing deficiencies on the staircase, bathroom mold/mildew, plumbing issues, and an overgrown debris-collecting backyard. Fortunately, these complaints were marked as abated by September 2010. The property has also been the subject of various external maintenance matters, with multiple 311 calls recorded between 2017 and 2023 primarily relating to street-related issues such as streetlight repairs, sign maintenance, and general cleaning needs in the vicinity.

Historical records show earlier construction activities in 1994-1996, though these records lack specific details about the work performed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of necessary repairs to address both aesthetic (stucco) and structural (electrical system) elements, with particular attention paid to facade maintenance in recent years. While the 2010 building complaints raised serious concerns about habitability and safety features, those issues appear to have been resolved based on the available records. The property's electrical system upgrade in 2005 represents the most significant infrastructure improvement on record, though this was completed nearly two decades ago.
