390 Prospect Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 390 Prospect Ave in Bernal Heights was built in 1913 and is currently owned by Barry W. Yops and Edda Piccini. The property has a history of several significant maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent notable concerns emerging in 2015 when multiple violations were documented, including mold/mildew on walls, broken window panes, and concerns regarding lead-based paint hazards.

Of particular note was the presence of lead paint and associated safety warnings, as well as the presence of interior moisture issues leading to mold formation. Earlier in 2003, the building had violations related to smoke detector installation requirements and gas utility shutoff tools, though these were all officially abated by June 27, 2003. The building underwent several documented maintenance activities, including roof repairs in 1996 and sidewalk repairs in 2002. More recently, the property has experienced ongoing external maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding general street and sidewalk cleaning needs.

While these calls primarily relate to public-space maintenance rather than building-specific issues, they do indicate some ongoing concerns with the immediate surroundings. A notable plumbing-related service request was recorded in October 2024, though this may not directly pertain to the building itself given the agency response was through RPD Community Gardens. The most pressing historical building concerns appear to have been addressed, as there have been no documented housing violations or building complaints since 2015. However, the age of the building (110 years old) and its documented history of moisture and lead-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance monitoring would be prudent for maintaining resident comfort and safety.
