8-12 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The four-story multi-family residential building at 8-12 12th Avenue, owned by 1050 Lake Street LLC, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1911, with the most substantial changes occurring between 2015-2017. A major seismic upgrade was completed in 2015-2016, which included the addition of a new unit (originally labeled as an ADU) consisting of two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one kitchen, along with structural enhancements including a moment frame and shear walls. The building has seen continuous maintenance and upgrades, including a $30,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2017, which incorporated energy-efficient lighting and modern fixtures.

Infrastructure improvements have been substantial, with a complete electrical service upgrade in 2017, new plumbing work including bathroom and kitchen renovations, and essential systems maintenance such as water main and sewer updates between 2012-2015. The property has had a few tenant-related incidents over the years, most notably a tenant buyout in 2017 involving two tenants with an amount of $68,000, though the circumstances around this buyout are not specified in the records. Historical violations from 2001 and 2008 were addressed and abated, primarily focusing on safety and security such as fire escape maintenance and gas utility requirements.

Temporary construction-related issues were reported in 2013 (regarding debris and noise) and 2015 (regarding construction fumes), though these were marked as not active after resolution. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 have primarily dealt with external issues such as parking violations and street maintenance matters that do not directly impact the building's habitability. The building's maintenance record suggests active management and compliance with current safety standards, particularly through the significant seismic upgrades and ongoing modernization efforts.
