1679-1681 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 1679-1681 Palou Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Greenthumb Properties, has a long history of maintenance and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1926. Recent work includes a completed $9,500 reroofing project in December 2024, though the building experienced several significant issues during late 2024 that warrant attention.

These include a sewage backup incident on December 20, 2024, tree root damage to sewer infrastructure, and a lifted sidewalk condition reported on December 18, 2024. The building recently underwent substantial electrical system improvements in 2008, including a conversion to underground service with four meters and a 200-amp service upgrade, along with interior improvements including smoke detectors and new electrical fixtures. Of particular concern is a building complaint filed in May 2023 regarding non-code-compliant main entry doors, with plastic modifications reported on both second-floor units, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The property has had multiple maintenance interventions over the years, including a comprehensive renovation in 2005 that upgraded all three kitchens and bathrooms, replaced appliances, and improved flooring, with electrical upgrades and window replacements also completed in the 1990s. The building has experienced various municipal service issues in recent months, including multiple reports of garbage and debris (though most were resolved quickly), and there are currently open cases regarding tree root damage and sidewalk defects. A historical fire incident is recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported.
