237-239 Miramar Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 237-239 Miramar Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by Vodongso Avery, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. The property has seen substantial improvements in the past two decades, including a $50,000 renovation of kitchens, bathrooms, and windows in 2001, and a $40,000 project in 2000 that involved re-roofing, window alterations, and electrical work. However, there have been notable periods of maintenance issues, particularly a cluster of violations in 2006 that included inadequate heating, plumbing problems (sinks and bathtub issues), and window hardware deficiencies, which were all abated by May 2006.

Earlier concerns included serious maintenance failures in 1999, when tenants reported no heat for 4.5 years, water problems, and pest issues. Recent history shows ongoing challenges with the property, including multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sewage backup, illegal construction, and debris clearing. The building has undergone regular oversight through routine inspections in 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2010, suggesting ongoing monitoring of conditions.

A significant cluster of complaints in 2024-2025 indicates some continuing concerns about maintenance and compliance issues, including a Christmas tree disposal request, sewage problems, and a report of illegal construction. The property's permit history shows efforts to address various building requirements, including stair and railing repairs in 1994 and compliance issues in 1987, though the age of these permits indicates that many structural and safety features are now quite old. The building's history includes multiple repair and compliance actions, suggesting an ongoing need for maintenance and oversight to address various building code requirements and resident needs.
