2590-2592 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The property at 2590-2592 38th Avenue is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Alex Jamal Farhat. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent concern being a potentially unsafe detached circular wood decorative piece near the front wall, reported in January 2024 and abated by January 30, 2024. The property has demonstrated consistent maintenance and upgrading efforts, including a comprehensive interior remodel of the top floor unit in 2016 ($40,000), voluntary seismic retrofit in 2018 ($32,732), and window replacement project in 2021 ($10,000).

Structural improvements have been prioritized, with notable permits for foundation shear wall installation and wooden frame strengthening filed in 2017 for $70,000, though the permit status is indicated as "filed." The building has also received attention to basic infrastructure, including reroofing in 2015, deck replacement in 2004, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2015-2016 related to the bathroom and kitchen remodel. The property has a documented history of tenant buyouts, with a payout of $14,500 to two tenants in July 2021, though no other buyouts are recorded. Recent maintenance activities have addressed various building systems, including waterline replacements and electrical upgrades, suggesting active property management.

The building's maintenance record includes both completed projects and some permit applications that remain filed without resolution, such as the 2017 structural strengthening permit. While the recent decorative element issue raised safety concerns, prompt attention to abate this violation indicates responsive management to building maintenance matters. The property's regulatory history shows regular interaction with city departments for building permits, inspections, and compliance matters, with most issues being resolved through appropriate channels.
