1219-1221 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1219-1221 South Van Ness Ave in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Joan A Holden 2008 Revocable Trust, has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, the property has experienced graffiti incidents, with two reported cases in 2024 (January and October) that remain unresolved.

There have been three notable fire safety concerns, including fire exit blockages in 2020 and 2024 (most recently corrected in July 2024), and multiple building violations in 2005-2009 related to fire safety equipment, guardrails, handrails, and smoke detection systems, all of which were abated by December 2008. The building has received several significant upgrades, including the installation of solar panels in 2009 (consisting of 34 modules across three permits), wall siding repairs in 2018, and stairway repairs in 2011. Historical records show earlier maintenance issues that were addressed, such as roofing work in 2001 and door installations in 1999.

However, the property experienced multiple concerning conditions in 2007, with complaints about various maintenance issues including plumbing problems, interior conditions, and an alleged illegal basement unit, though these were eventually resolved. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2009 and 2015, and a street space permit was issued in 2015. Recent complaints in 2024 have primarily involved exterior issues such as graffiti and encampments, though these are not directly related to building conditions or safety.
