1482-1484 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 1482-1484 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood has a complex maintenance and violation history spanning several years. Built in 1900, the two-story flats and duplex property has faced multiple code compliance challenges, with the most recent building complaint filed in November 2024 regarding an unpermitted kitchen remodel at unit 1484. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2018, when there were multiple active violations related to stair repairs, roof weatherproofing, rubbish removal, and heating problems.

Earlier violations from 2018-2019 documented mold and mildew problems, including in the bathroom, as well as issues with damaged walls and ceilings, though many of these were subsequently resolved. The property has undergone several permit applications and renewals, with notable work performed in 2007 to address violations including bathroom repairs and stair replacement, alongside electrical upgrades to correct violations with numerous outlets and lighting fixtures. More recent plumbing and sewage infrastructure concerns have emerged, with multiple 311 calls between 2021-2023 regarding flooding issues, sewer vent problems, and a sewage backup incident.

The building's history also includes several complaints about unauthorized modifications, such as illegal plumbing work and construction in 2007-2013, though these issues were generally addressed through subsequent permit applications. The most recent building permit activity was recorded in January 2020 for street space work, though this appears to be a minor permit. Recent exterior issues have included graffiti incidents in 2019, which were promptly addressed by the property owner.
