1394-1398 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1394-1398 San Bruno Ave, a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 with 4 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2023, the building faced multiple violations related to water damage and safety equipment, including problems with water intrusion, interior surface issues, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations were officially abated by February 14, 2023.

More recently, a lead hazard warning was filed in December 2024 and remains active as of the latest records. The building has a documented history of maintenance work, including a major structural improvement in 2008 with the addition of a steel braced frame and foundation work, and various renovations in the 1980s involving bathroom and kitchen improvements. In 2020, there were concerning reports of electrical safety issues, with complaints about hanging electrical wires, though these complaints are now listed as not active.

The property has also experienced recurring issues with sidewalk cleanliness and garbage management, with multiple 311 calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans between January 2025 and February 2025. The building has a documented history of minor fire alarm activations, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. Historical improvements include a 1999 reroofing project, though this permit appears to have expired. While many of the recent safety and maintenance issues have been addressed, as evidenced by the February 2023 abatement dates, the active lead hazard warning and ongoing concerns about sidewalk cleanliness and garbage management suggest that some building maintenance and neighborhood integration challenges persist.
