1454 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

1454 South Van Ness Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations between 2018-2019, including comprehensive unit remodels in Units 1, 2, 3, and 5, adding multiple bathrooms and kitchen relocations, with work totaling over $400,000 across various permits. This renovation period also included the controversial removal of a single-unit service elevator and installation of a new roof deck.

The building had several notable tenant issues in 2018, including multiple interior surface violations related to water damage, damaged windows, smoke detector issues, and mold/fungus concerns, though these were all abated by April 2018. Two complaints were filed in March 2020 regarding construction work during COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders, and in May 2019, there was a complaint about the removal of the elevator and front stairwell access. The building has undergone three tenant buyouts since 2019, with payments of $41,000 to 2 tenants, $60,000 to 1 tenant, and $1,000 to 1 tenant during the renovation period.

Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building upkeep, with several plumbing and electrical upgrades completed in 2019, including the installation of a mini-split system and various bathroom renovations. The building's history includes two roofing projects (2013 and 2001), and it appears to be currently in good maintenance standing following the extensive 2018-2019 renovations. Recent exterior issues primarily relate to street cleaning concerns, with multiple sanitation service requests in the surrounding area throughout 2022-2024, though these are typical for urban settings and do not directly reflect on building maintenance. The most recent fire incident on record was an invalid assist with no injuries reported.
