1499 Thomas Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1499 Thomas Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Kaaid-obad Faisa and built in 1900. The building has a concerning recent history, with an active complaint from May 2024 about peeling paint on the front and side of the building, and a June 2021 report of multiple issues including insects/rodents, damaged walls, mold, and general dilapidation. The structure has undergone several modifications and faced multiple building code violations over the years, including issues with handrails and stairs in 2005-2006 that were subsequently addressed through proper permits.

There was a significant incident in late 2006 when unauthorized garage reconstruction work was reported following a fire, though this was abated by March 2007. Earlier building maintenance included work on dry rot and stucco replacement in 2006, stairway upgrades in 2005, and reroofing in 1995. The electrical system received attention in 2003-2004 with multiple permits for switch installations and compliance work.

Periodic inspections by housing authorities have occurred, with a notable "unsafe building" violation in 2005 that was resolved by February 2006. Recent environmental concerns are evident from the 2021 complaint about various structural and maintenance issues, though many historical violations have been addressed through proper permits and corrections. The property has been subject to multiple sanitation-related complaints in late 2024, primarily regarding garbage and debris, though these pertain to external conditions rather than structural issues. A fire complaint was logged and referred to DBI in December 2018, though no specific details about this incident are available in the records.
