1403 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1403 San Bruno Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Palu Trust and dating back to 1900. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced various challenges in recent years. Most notably, a $68,000 soft story upgrade was permitted in 2022 to improve structural safety per SFEBCA Chapter 4D requirements, representing a positive investment in building stability.

A proposed addition of a new 700-square-foot unit on the first floor was filed in 2020 but subsequently withdrawn. The building experienced a complaint in October 2020 regarding unpermitted work that was blocking the sidewalk, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. Recent activity at the property has been heavily characterized by maintenance challenges, particularly concerning graffiti and public health issues. Between August 2024 and December 2024, there were multiple reports of graffiti on and around the property, affecting both private building surfaces and public sidewalks.

These incidents were addressed through various municipal services, including removal by Street and Environmental Services and transfer to SFUSD for abatement. The property also faced some behavioral and sanitation challenges, with reports of garbage, debris, and human waste/urine on the street and sidewalk areas between August and November 2024. While these issues do not directly indicate problems with the building's structure or maintenance, they do suggest some ongoing challenges with the immediate surroundings. The building's plumbing infrastructure received attention in 2016 with a sewer lateral connection from the house to the sidewalk, though this permit has since expired.
