1617 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1617 Palou Ave in Bayview is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Juanita E Johnson Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past decade, with the most recent complaints in 2023 and 2024 highlighting ongoing maintenance challenges. In 2023, there were concerns about bathroom window functionality, damaged bathroom floor, water damage, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Earlier problems in 2017 involved water damage and mold/mildew issues, which were addressed by March 2017. Two heating-related complaints were documented in 2015, culminating in the installation of a new heater system, though one related permit was cancelled. The building has undergone some infrastructure improvements, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade and conversion from overhead to underground power in 2005, though this permit expired.

More recently, there have been numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding the property, primarily related to garbage and debris issues on the street, though there are also reports of parking violations. A sidewalk defect was reported in August 2024, noting holes, cracks, and uneven sections. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic neglect of basic systems and safety features, with multiple instances of water damage, mold issues, and heating problems over the years. The presence of lead hazard notifications in 2023 indicates potential environmental concerns, and while many of the cited violations have been marked as "Not Active," their previous existence suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
