1535-1537 Quesada Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1535-1537 Quesada Avenue is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood and owned by Rick Ung. The 123-year-old building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably in late 2007 when multiple violations were documented, including fire safety concerns such as blocked egress at back stairs, lack of required fire extinguishers, a cockroach infestation, and various building maintenance issues like broken glass window panes and safety concerns regarding handrails. These violations, however, were all abated by February 12, 2008.

More recent history reveals ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, including reports of electrical outages in 2014, plumbing issues in 2010, and persistent problems with dampness and mold in 1998. In 2021, a significant complaint was filed regarding unauthorized commercial activity, with reports of tent use and carpentry work in the backyard suggesting improper use of the residential space. The building has also experienced multiple sanitation issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls about garbage and debris on the property in 2024.

A tree-related issue was reported in November 2023 regarding lifted sidewalk tree roots. The property has documented fire safety concerns from 2015, including blocked exits and combustible materials, though these conditions were reportedly corrected. The building's mechanical systems and general maintenance history suggest a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep, with multiple instances of sanitation and safety violations throughout its history.
