1215 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 11-unit, three-story apartment building at 1215 Pacific Avenue, owned by Ronald L. Fong, was constructed in 1975 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most recently, in late 2023, the property completed substantial renovations in units 201, 202, and 301, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and electrical upgrades costing $158,000.

Earlier in 2023, the building received attention for balcony repairs ($50,000), and in 2017, a mandatory soft-story retrofit was successfully completed at a cost of $70,000. The building has experienced some notable maintenance challenges, particularly a sewage-related incident in 2018 that affected multiple units, and a 2017 complaint raised concerns about mold, structural issues, and roof drainage problems. Recent activity indicates ongoing maintenance and safety compliance efforts, though there are some current concerns worth noting.

As of April 2024, there is an active general maintenance complaint under investigation. The building's fire safety systems have required periodic attention, with multiple fire extinguisher and sprinkler system complaints recorded between 2014 and 2023, though most have been marked as "Condition Corrected." Historical records show the building has completed various unit renovations over the years, including work in units 101 and 303, and has addressed exterior issues such as stucco repairs and roofing work. Regular inspections and permit records indicate the building's management has generally maintained compliance with San Francisco building codes, including the completion of the necessary soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 property. The most recent maintenance and improvement work suggests continued investment in the building's upkeep, though the existence of an active maintenance complaint as of 2024 warrants attention.
