1078-1080 Jamestown Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1078-1080 Jamestown Avenue in Bayview Heights is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by the Wesche-graff Family Trust. The building underwent significant alterations in 2008 when the two units were merged into a single unit through the removal of interior partition walls, accompanied by a second-floor kitchen remodel and the addition of a spiral staircase. This renovation, valued at $35,000, included substantial electrical work (new wiring for lights, switches, receptacles, and appliances) and plumbing upgrades, followed by the installation of a solar system in 2016 comprising 15 roof-mounted PV modules.

The property has had its share of challenges, including a substantial fire incident in 2005 requiring $108,000 in repairs, and more recently, multiple sewage discharge issues in 2024 (September and August) affecting both a catch basin and side sewer vent. Recent history shows several maintenance and compliance matters, including two fire-related violations in 2022 (one categorized as "Uncategorized Complaint" and another related to "storage / no combustibles allowed"), though these were subsequently abated. The building's facade has faced some exterior maintenance issues, with two separate complaints regarding peeling paint filed in June 2024.

The property has experienced various urban infrastructure challenges typical of its location, including recent concerns with abandoned vehicles (four incidents between late 2024) and some sidewalk blocking issues. The building underwent several systems upgrades from 2005 to 2009, including furnace replacement and gas line work, indicating active maintenance of essential systems. The most recent building system improvements include the 2016 solar installation, suggesting ongoing efforts toward modernization and sustainability.
