1900-1902 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1900-1902 Palou Ave, owned by Jesus A & Maria E Martinez, has undergone several significant construction and maintenance projects since 2018. Most notably, there has been ongoing work related to deck replacement, with original permits issued in July 2018 for a $10,000 project, and more recently, recommencement and completion work permitted in April 2024 for an additional $6,500.

This deck work has been the subject of multiple building complaints, particularly regarding its impact on neighboring properties, with allegations of unauthorized construction methods and effects on adjacent retaining walls documented in 2020. The building has experienced various maintenance issues, including an active plumbing leak complaint from 2018, and there are currently several open matters requiring attention as of December 2024, including a curb defect, property damage concerns, and multiple reports of garbage and debris. The property's history includes an electrical system upgrade in 2008 with the conversion to underground services and installation of two meters, and a violation in 2018 regarding stair repairs that received multiple notice of violation (NOV) citations.

Recent activity shows a pattern of permit issuance and compliance work, though there are still several active complaints as of 2024 regarding construction-related issues, property maintenance, and neighborhood impacts. The property has also generated multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to parking issues, sidewalk conditions, and debris management, indicating ongoing concerns about property upkeep and its impact on the surrounding area. The planning records suggest some conflict over parking arrangements, with references to curb removal for illegal backyard parking, though a prior investigation resulted in no violation finding.
