1388 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1388 South Van Ness Avenue, owned by Richard K Stoltz, has a documented history dating back to its 1906 construction. The property has undergone several significant renovations, including a complete roof replacement in 2006 (cost: $5,000), bathroom and kitchen remodeling in 1999, and minor interior updates in 1987. A notable complaint was filed in December 1994 regarding hazardous conditions including unsafe wiring, carpeting issues in sleeping rooms, bathroom ceiling maintenance needs, lack of heating, and exposed electrical sockets, though this complaint was abated in February 1995.

Two fire safety complaints were registered in December 2019 regarding blocked exits and an uncategorized issue, though both were resolved within a month. The building's maintenance record shows more recent infrastructure work, including a gas houseline extension in 2011, while several plumbing and electrical concerns have been documented through 311 calls. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of sewage-related issues, including a backup incident in April 2022 and subsequent sewer work in June 2022.

The property has also experienced various exterior maintenance challenges, such as graffiti removal in 2022, sidewalk concerns, and tree root damage affecting the sidewalk. The most recent issues involve street cleaning matters, including reports of garbage, debris, and waste between April 2023 and December 2024. While these exterior maintenance issues have been consistently addressed and resolved, they indicate ongoing challenges with the immediate surroundings of the property. The building's overall history shows regular maintenance and periodic updates, though some historical safety concerns from the 1990s and infrastructure issues from recent years demonstrate the importance of continued attention to both building systems and surrounding infrastructure.
