1923 Palou Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential building at 1923 Palou Ave in Silver Terrace, owned by Li Jia Rong, has a recorded history dating back to its 1907 construction as a one-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including an electrical upgrade in 2005 with the installation of a 100-amp underground conversion, and a fire safety installation in 2003 (though this permit ultimately expired). Maintenance work from 1988 included garage door replacement and repairs to address dry rot in the front stairs.

The building has experienced a series of maintenance and safety-related issues over the past decade. In 2009 and 2010, there were two fire safety complaints, one regarding blocked exits that was referred to the Department of Building Inspection. More recently, there has been a noticeable pattern of parking violations in the vicinity, particularly concerning sidewalk parking, with multiple enforcement actions recorded between October and December 2024, including one citation issued.

The property has also faced challenges with garbage and debris management, with several reports of abandoned items requiring removal services between September and December 2024, including instances of liquid spills and abandoned furniture. While these issues have been generally resolved through appropriate channels, they suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and neighborhood interactions. Two older permits from the late 1980s and early 2000s indicate some attention to structural and safety improvements, though the fire alarm installation permit's expired status warrants attention from a compliance perspective.
