1207-1211 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1207-1211 South Van Ness Avenue, owned by Mancuso Dody, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. The property completed a voluntary seismic improvement project in 2000 ($25,000), which is particularly noteworthy given the building's age. In early 2011, the building faced multiple violations stemming from a health and safety routine inspection, including issues with stairs, fire safety equipment, and security requirements, which were all resolved by November 2013 through various repairs including the replacement of three dry rot steps and a handrail.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems, with records of reroofing and bathroom renovations in 1998, and kitchen updates in 2001. Recent developments include a currently active complaint from September 2024 regarding potential dry rot issues related to a neighboring property's flowerbed installation. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in the past, particularly in 1998, when there were multiple complaints about heating issues and water damage.

More recently, there have been numerous reports of street cleanliness issues in 2024, including furniture debris and graffiti, though these are exterior to the building itself. The last recorded building permit activity was in 2013, when final inspections were completed for work originally approved in 2011. While many historical issues have been resolved, the building's record indicates periodic maintenance challenges that have required attention over the years.
