1126 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

1126 South Van Ness Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Irene Chiu and constructed in 1880. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in 2021 ($13,500), a gas house line extension in 2011, and the resolution of multiple building code violations in 2006 related to fire safety and stair repairs.

Notable past violations from 2004-2006 included issues with combustible storage, fire escape maintenance, and stair repairs, all of which were addressed through proper remediation. More recent history shows ongoing infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues with the laundry facilities in 2022 and sewage backup incidents in 2023 and 2020.

The building's exterior and surrounding area have experienced recurring sanitation issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage, debris, and street cleaning matters, with the most recent cases reported in 2024 involving furniture removal and human waste. While these maintenance and sanitation issues are being addressed as they arise, they indicate an ongoing need for attention to building infrastructure and the surrounding environment. The property's documented history shows a pattern of addressing violations and maintaining compliance, with most historical issues having been resolved through appropriate permitting and remediation processes.
