1253 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1253 Palou Ave, owned by Brenda Miller, has a documented history dating back to its 1927 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance activities, including a $10,000 reroofing project completed in 2018, following an earlier expired roofing permit from 1994. There are records of maintenance and safety concerns, including a fire safety violation in November 2022 regarding blocked exits, which was promptly addressed within two days.

A rear deck was constructed in 2006 without proper permits, though this issue appears to have been resolved. Most notably, in recent months (September-October 2024), the building has experienced multiple sewer-related issues, including three separate sewage back-up incidents between September 30 and October 2, 2024, affecting both the side sewer vent and catch basin. These incidents prompted follow-up inspections and requests for CCTV camera evaluation of the city side sewer line.

The property has also been the subject of external maintenance concerns, with reports of garbage and debris issues, an overgrown tree (as of November 2024), and several parking-related incidents involving blocked driveways, resulting in at least one citation in January 2025. In October 2024, there was also a general park patrol response noted. While some of these issues have been resolved through proper channels, the recent cluster of sewer-related incidents and other maintenance calls suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
