2000 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The three-unit, single-story apartment building at 2000 Palou Avenue in Silver Terrace, owned by Lam & To Family Trust, was constructed in 1915 and has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years. In the spring of 2005, there were notable plumbing problems, including reports of no hot water and leaking sources, along with a separate complaint about non-functioning bathrooms in July 2005; both issues were resolved promptly within weeks.

The property underwent an electrical service upgrade in 2005 with an underground conversion and installation of a new 3-meter stack, though this permit has since expired. A significant cluster of building violations occurred in January 2008, primarily related to gas safety and fire safety concerns, including the need for proper gas meter instructions, shutoff tool provisions, and removal of egress obstructions; all these violations were addressed by February 2008. In 2009, there were three fire code violations related to fire extinguisher requirements and other safety issues, though these were subsequently closed.

The building's most recent history shows ongoing challenges with waste management and parking enforcement, with multiple reports of abandoned debris, including appliances and loose garbage, recorded between December 2024 and January 2025. There have also been several recent incidents of illegal parking on the sidewalk, with citations issued by parking enforcement officers. A routine fire complaint from 2009 shows a violation was issued, though no specific details are provided.
