1438-1448 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1438-1448 South Van Ness Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Sharon Whelan Macsweeney, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most notable recent structural enhancement was completed in 2017, when the building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit that involved foundation reinforcement, addition of shear walls, and installation of holdowns at a cost of $20,000, bringing the building into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The property has maintained an active maintenance record, including reroofing work in 2001 and various street space permits in 2009 and 2011. The building experienced several maintenance and safety issues in 2004, when multiple violations were documented regarding broken glass window panes and non-functional self-closing exterior doors, though these were all resolved by August 2004.

A more recent complaint regarding general maintenance and heating issues was filed in December 2013, but this was also marked as not active. Of particular note was a gas leak incident recorded by the fire department in early 2023, though it resulted in no civilian injuries and was subsequently resolved. The property has generated numerous cleaning service requests in 2023-2024, primarily relating to street and sidewalk debris, with the last known incident being a garbage and debris complaint in October 2024.
