1223 Kearny St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 9-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1223 Kearny Street, owned by the Lee Family Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1959 and is classified as multi-family residential property. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades, including mandatory soft-story retrofitting completed in 2015 (cost: $60,000) and the recent replacement of all nine units' electrical panels in October 2023 due to outdated Federal Pacific equipment, with installation of new electrical distribution panels. In recent years, there have been important infrastructure improvements, including a sewer lateral replacement in October 2023, multiple HVAC system upgrades in 2018, and water heater replacements in 2016.

The building has completed several safety and maintenance projects, such as window and patio door replacements in 2007, staircase repairs in 2002, and roofing work in 1994. The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2018 and 2023 related to extinguishers and exit maintenance, though all have been corrected or abated. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 2001, 2004, and 2006 with no active violations noted.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 show various issues including garbage and debris concerns, driveway blocking incidents, and one open noise complaint. The building's fire incident record shows mainly false alarms, malfunctioning systems, and one incident involving an overheated motor, with no civilian injuries reported. A cancelled permit from 2016 for adding an accessory dwelling unit on the ground floor, which was to include kitchen and bath facilities, is the only significant development that did not proceed.
