1370 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1370 South Van Ness Avenue, owned by Tsai Ting Hui, is a 2-story structure built in 1971. The property experienced significant maintenance issues in 2019, when multiple housing code violations were documented, including problems with heating, plumbing, electrical systems, and building integrity.

These violations, documented between March and April 2019, detailed concerns such as lack of heat in occupied rooms, mold and mildew on walls, bathroom issues, window frame repairs needed, and electrical problems including faulty light switches and fixtures. The building underwent substantial repairs in 2019 to address these violations, including a $36,000 comprehensive renovation of the kitchen and bathroom in unit #201, along with electrical system upgrades and various plumbing corrections, all of which were completed by July 2019.

Before these 2019 issues, the building had some maintenance work done, including a concrete patio replacement in 2015 (completed at a cost of $8,000). While there have been no active building violations or major complaints since 2019, the property has generated several 311 calls in recent years (2023-2024) related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, including reports of abandoned furniture, a mattress, and a Christmas tree, as well as graffiti. Two recent parking enforcement issues were recorded in December 2024 regarding driveway blocking, and there were reports of encampments near the property in late 2023/early 2024, though these were unable to be verified or responded to as encampments by city officials.
