1570-1572 Kirkwood Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1570-1572 Kirkwood Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1906, has undergone significant recent renovations, with major kitchen and bathroom remodels completed in 2024 costing over $170,000 combined. The property has a history of regulatory compliance issues, with multiple Notices of Violation (NOV) dating back to 2010 regarding unauthorized construction work, including illegal dormers and an unpermitted third-floor deck.

A significant safety concern was raised in 2022 about an unsecured third-floor deck without railings, which was subsequently addressed through permit modifications. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system concerns, with violations related to alarms, sprinklers, and extinguishers noted between 2017 and 2024, though most have been promptly corrected. Recent building maintenance issues include an active complaint filed in June 2024 regarding peeling paint on the building's exterior.

The property has a documented history of plumbing and water damage issues, with three significant complaints regarding water flow problems affecting neighboring properties filed in 1999. The building's recent work history shows substantial investment in improvements, including electrical system upgrades in 2024, though some regulatory matters remain pending closure, such as concerns about an unfinished third-story deck. The property management has generally responded to violations and worked to achieve compliance, with most historical issues being resolved through proper permitting and remediation, though some complaints have persisted across multiple years.
