1215-1217 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 1215-1217 South Van Ness Avenue, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced some environmental challenges. Built in 1900, this two-story flats and duplex property, currently owned by Francisco X & Lorenza Campl, has seen substantial modernization efforts in 2023-2024, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel with associated plumbing work in early 2023 (completed at a cost of $36,123), electrical upgrades including a sub-panel installation and kitchen improvements (March 2023), main breaker upgrade to 100-amp service (August 2023), and the installation of a 4.74 kW solar PV system (January 2024).

The property has a history of structural maintenance, including a 2007 renovation addressing rear stairs, rotted framing, and window replacements, along with historical permits for plumbing work in 2011 and a reroofing project in 1994. The building's recent history includes a notable tenant buyout at 1217 South Van Ness Avenue in November 2022, recorded at $90,000 for one tenant.

The property has experienced various environmental challenges in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls between 2024-2025 primarily related to garbage and debris on adjacent streets, including reports of furniture, mattresses, and various types of waste, though most of these cases have been resolved. There are also some ongoing municipal service issues, including an open case regarding an empty tree basin (October 2024) and graffiti concerns affecting a transit shelter platform (April 2024). While the building's recent improvements suggest active maintenance and upgrading of property systems, the surrounding area has experienced recurring sanitation and maintenance challenges as evidenced by the volume of 311 calls, though these do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions or management.
