1637 Newcomb Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential building at 1637 Newcomb Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1885, currently owned by Charles E. Thomas and Dorothy. The property has undergone minimal permitted modifications in recent years, with the only significant electrical work recorded being an underground service conversion completed in 2009.

The building is currently facing active housing inspection concerns as of July 2024, with an open complaint regarding peeling paint and inadequately maintained exterior conditions, which represent the most significant maintenance issues on record. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of sanitation and exterior upkeep challenges, particularly in recent years. Between 2019 and 2024, there have been multiple reports requiring intervention for cleaning needs, including instances of general cleaning (loose garbage), human or animal waste, and memorial candle removal. Two separate sewage backup incidents were recorded in 2020 and 2017, which were resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

The building's exterior and surrounding area have experienced recurring cleanliness issues, as evidenced by various 311 calls for general cleaning assistance. While not directly related to the building's condition, there was one parking enforcement call in 2022 regarding an illegal parking violation, and a construction-related parking issue was documented in 2014. The most pressing current concern is the active housing inspection case from July 2024 regarding peeling paint and inadequate exterior maintenance, which suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. This complaint follows a series of maintenance and sanitation-related incidents, indicating a need for continued monitoring of property maintenance conditions.
