229 Lee Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 229 Lee Avenue in Ingleside is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Cinnamon Tuyet Nguyen. The building has a concerning history of maintenance issues, with the most significant recent problems occurring in 2022, including multiple active building violations as of September 2022 related to plumbing (water heater), bathroom fixtures (toilet and gas oven), kitchen counter maintenance, stairway safety (handrails and guardrails), floor coverings, and general cleanliness.

The building was previously vacant in 2019-2020, and multiple complaints filed between 2012-2018 indicated persistent maintenance issues including garbage service problems, rodent infestations, and water leaks with mold concerns. Historical records show various renovation attempts and structural work in the late 1990s, including foundation work, plumbing, electrical, and roofing improvements totaling $8,000, along with dry rot repairs. More recent issues have centered around construction activity, with complaints about work hours in October 2022, though this case is no longer active.

The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023, all related to driveway blocking, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. A tenant buyout report indicates a transaction involving $45,000 for two tenants at a nearby property (225 Lee Avenue) in April 2022, though the relationship to 229 Lee Avenue is unclear. The building's inspection history reveals several periods of vacancy and complaints about inadequate maintenance, particularly regarding plumbing and mold issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with property upkeep and habitability standards.
