1474 Van Dyke Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential building at 1474 Van Dyke Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Maria D C Diaz, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, the property underwent a sewer lateral replacement in November 2024, and there was a sewage backup incident in December 2024 that required attention from the PUC's Sewer Operations team.

The building has a documented pattern of vegetation management violations, with multiple fire complaints regarding weeds and grass recorded between 2015 and 2024, including a recent violation in August 2024 that was resolved in October 2024. In 2019, the property received citations for multiple fire code violations, and in June 2023, there were several fire safety issues documented at nearby addresses (1510-1526 Wallace Avenue) that required permits and corrections, including concerns about electrical hazards, emergency lighting, and gas container security - all of which were subsequently abated. Recent activity around the building has included multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk between December 2024 and January 2025, though some of these cases have been resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows some efforts at interior improvements, including bathroom fixture replacement and insulation work in 1991 (though this permit is listed as expired), and a sidewalk permit from 2008. While the property has experienced various infrastructure issues, including a December 2024 incident involving a missing side sewer vent cover, recent permits indicate some infrastructure upgrades, such as the completed sewer lateral replacement in 2024. The building's age (constructed in 1906) and status as a two-unit flat and store property with historical permits suggest it is maintaining compliance with current building standards, though some recent violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
