1657-1659 La Salle Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The duplex property at 1657-1659 La Salle Ave in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Luis E Paredes, is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Notable improvements include a horizontal addition completed in 2001 with a cost of $81,000, the replacement of the existing furnace in 2013, and the rerouting of power lines to address electrical safety concerns in 2010.

The property has experienced several critical issues, including a serious sewage backup incident in 2012 affecting a lower unit with children present, and historical structural concerns such as rotted front stairs and electrical problems documented in a 1999 housing complaint. Multiple building permits indicate efforts to address these and other maintenance issues, including compliance work for violations and various electrical and plumbing repairs. More recently, the property has been the subject of numerous street maintenance calls, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring cleanup between December 2024 and January 2025.

These recent calls, while indicating ongoing maintenance needs, were primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions rather than building-specific issues. The property's historical permit and complaint records demonstrate a pattern of both significant improvements and recurring maintenance challenges, with the most serious past issues being effectively addressed through various permits and inspections. The building's most recent documented concerns relate to exterior cleanliness issues affecting the surrounding sidewalk area rather than internal building conditions.
