1423 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1423 Palou Ave in the Bayview neighborhood is a 2-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1885, currently owned by Ineta Smith Revoc Trust 201. The building has a documented history of significant unauthorized construction activities, with active violations from January 2003 regarding an unpermitted 2-story horizontal addition and rear deck repairs, which have remained unresolved for over 20 years. These violations were initially documented through multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) in 2003, and although there was an attempt to legalize the rear additions and deck in 2004, that permit was ultimately cancelled.

In the past, the building experienced fire damage in 1988 requiring repairs, and several electrical upgrades including an underground service installation in 2005. The property has generated numerous 311 calls between 2024-2025, indicating various maintenance and regulatory issues. Recently reported concerns include a hazardous materials situation (reported February 2024, currently open), a sewage backup (September 2024), and multiple parking enforcement issues.

Historical complaints show a pattern of violations related to unauthorized modifications and occupancy issues, with a notable incident in 2003 involving illegal tenant occupancy without an occupancy permit. While there was a fire-related hazardous materials complaint in 2007, it was determined to have no merit the following year. The building's maintenance history shows mixed attention to issues, with some being resolved and others remaining problematic for extended periods.
