1730 La Salle Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential building at 1730 La Salle Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Otho & Jessica Middleton Trust, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, warranting attention to resident safety and maintenance concerns. Constructed in 1900 as a two-story flats and duplex structure, the building's maintenance records include a reroofing project from 2015 valued at $11,500. Multiple serious building complaints have been documented, including a comprehensive complaint from January 2019 detailing no heat, electrical problems, sewage overflow near the entrance, odor issues suggesting possible decomposed animals, a mice infestation, code-violating stairs, and missing smoke detectors - though this complaint is currently listed as not active with no recorded abatement.

An earlier complaint from September 2015 highlighted unsafe stairs to the second unit, inadequate smoke detector installation, a raccoon infestation, and issues with trash left by former tenants. The property has recently faced a series of environmental concerns, with an open public health complaint registered in January 2025. There have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles near the property in December 2024, though these were resolved through towing.

The property has also been subject to various street-related complaints, including issues with garbage and debris (August and October 2024), and a curb defect report from May 2024 which was resolved with no found defects. A fire safety concern regarding blocked exits was filed in August 2019 but was determined to have no merit by October 2019. The building's permit and complaint history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic infrastructure and safety systems, though some recent external concerns appear to be more related to street conditions than building-specific issues.
