1307-1309 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1307-1309 Palou Avenue in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, owned by Shane Ryan, was constructed in 1926 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair events over its history. Most notably, the property experienced a structure fire on October 24, 2013, affecting unit 1309 and requiring comprehensive repairs including painting, window replacement, floor work, and closet door installation, with an estimated cost of $5,000.

While permits were eventually issued to address the fire damage, including a 2020 renewal indicating completion of all work, there were multiple instances of permit expiration and violation notices related to this incident, with some associated monitoring fees. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing and electrical violations, window repairs, and pest control issues in 2007, when tenants reported no working heater and a cockroach infestation, though these were resolved within months. Recent history shows ongoing attention to building and sidewalk maintenance, with 311 calls between 2023-2024 documenting issues such as sidewalk defects, illegal parking, and general cleaning needs near the property.

A 2019 complaint indicated concerns about an unpermitted shed in front of the building affecting disabled access to a bus stop, though this complaint is listed as not active. The building's inspection and violation history indicates a pattern of requiring monitoring and follow-up work, though most recent permits and complaint resolutions suggest that outstanding issues have been generally addressed. The property has had routine housing inspections conducted in 1999, 2007, and 2011, with no major violations noted in the most recent records.
