989 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 989 South Van Ness Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Edward A Johnson Revocable Trust. The building's documented history includes several maintenance and compliance events, with the most recent significant building improvement occurring in 2010 when a forced air furnace and new flue were installed.

The building experienced multiple violations in December 2004 related to unauthorized plumbing work involving floor drains and waterproof membranes, though these issues were resolved by January 2005. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 2008 and 2015, both of which were cleared, and a stairway chairlift installation permit from 1991 is noted as having expired.

The surrounding area has experienced various maintenance and cleanliness issues over the past year, with multiple reports of human or animal waste (June, August 2023), graffiti (July 2024), and parking violations (August 2023, November 2024). Recent street conditions have generated multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and parking enforcement matters in 2023-2024, though these issues seem to be primarily external to the building itself and more related to neighborhood conditions. While the building's historical permit and violation records show some past concerns regarding unauthorized work and access issues, these appear to have been resolved over the past decade.
