1510-1512 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1510-1512 Palou Avenue is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Clarence I Williams 2011 Re. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most pressing being a recent violation filed in October 2023 regarding severely peeling and flaking paint creating potential lead hazards, with associated weatherproofing concerns. This violation, while not currently active, follows a pattern of paint-related issues dating back to at least 2008, when the building was described as dilapidated with unsafe stairs and multiple maintenance deficiencies.

The property has also faced challenges with vacancy compliance, with violations recorded in both 2014 and 2017, and a history of electrical system upgrades in 2004. Earlier maintenance work included multiple reroofing projects, with permits issued in 1996 and 2009 showing proper attention to this critical building element. In addition to structural and maintenance concerns, recent records from late 2024 to early 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris management in the surrounding area, with multiple reports filed through 311 services.

These environmental concerns, while not directly related to the building's condition, may affect the overall property environment. The building underwent some electrical system improvements in 2004 with permits for underground service and 200-amp conversion, though these permits are now expired. A fire safety inspection in 2013 resulted in the correction of combustible materials issues. Despite these documented problems, the property has maintained its classification as a multi-family residential building throughout its history, and current zoning remains consistent with its established use.
