1616 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1616 Palou Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Kaileh Ibrahim J & Maha I. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including a main sewer line replacement and house trap installation completed in May 2021. Previous improvements include a sidewalk repair in December 2006 and a service conversion from overhead to underground electrical service in April 2007, although the electrical permit has since expired.

The building experienced a series of substantial maintenance and safety issues in 2016, including inadequate heating, window repairs, kitchen vent malfunction, ceiling damage, and interior surface problems such as mold/mildew presence. A notable cluster of violations was documented in May-June 2016, all of which were subsequently abated. These violations also included concerns about building identification numbers, security requirements, and the need for proper carbon monoxide detection systems.

Historical records show a complaint about broken water service from late 2006 and an investigation of an alleged illegal unit in the garage in 1998, though both matters were resolved promptly. Recent activity around the building, particularly from late 2024, shows multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity, with the most significant concentration of reports occurring in November 2024. Additionally, there are two sidewalk defect reports from 2024 - one listed as open and accepted, while the other was noted as a duplicate of another request. These recent cleaning and maintenance matters suggest ongoing attention is required for exterior upkeep and waste management in the immediate area.
