1531 Kirkwood Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1531 Kirkwood Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Dayan Darwin. The building has experienced several significant issues over its history, most notably a fire in 2002 that required substantial repairs costing $135,000. More recent concerns have emerged regarding the building's exterior maintenance, with multiple reports of paint peeling in 2023-2024 prompting multiple inspections by Housing Inspection Services.

There are also current infrastructure issues, including reports of collapsed sidewalks near the property filed in July 2023, and ongoing concerns about overgrown trees as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024. The building's maintenance history shows periods of attention to interior improvements, such as bathroom modifications in 2003-2004 and earlier drywall repairs in 1990, indicating some level of upkeep over the years. The property has faced various other challenges, including a 2001 complaint about broken windows, structural holes, and security concerns related to loose dogs, though these issues were reportedly addressed within a month.

In recent years, there have been multiple municipal service calls regarding street cleaning, waste management, and tree maintenance. Records show two tenant buyouts at a nearby address (1620 La Salle Avenue) in 2018-2019, but these are not directly related to the Kirkwood Avenue property. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, the most pressing current concerns appear to be the exterior maintenance (paint peeling) and access-related infrastructure problems (sidewalk collapse) surrounding the property.
