178-180 Andover St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story multi-family residential building at 178-180 Andover St in Bernal Heights, owned by the Gady Costeff Revocable Trust, is a century-old structure containing two units, classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past 25 years, with the most recent major works occurring in 2007 when the exterior rear stairs were replaced to comply with current building codes.

Previous improvements include roof replacement in 2002, various kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1996-1997, and exterior maintenance in 2006 involving door replacement and repairs to decayed redwood siding. The building's recent history has been marked by some concerning issues, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple reports of tree damage in the vicinity, including instances of trees being "about to fall," though most were resolved promptly. The property has experienced recurring problems with abandoned vehicles in the immediate area throughout 2024, with multiple reports to the MTA, though most vehicles were gone upon arrival of enforcement personnel.

Notably, there were two fire complaints on record - a hoarding incident in July 2017 and a vacant building complaint in December 2012, both of which were either closed with no jurisdiction or no merit findings. While these incidents do not directly indicate issues with the residential building itself, they suggest some environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity. In 2020, there was a tenant buyout at a nearby address (144 Andover Street) involving a payment of $40,000 to one tenant.
