180 11th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 180 11th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, owned by Sheena Kong, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over its history. Most notably, between 2019-2020, the building underwent substantial upgrades including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor, comprehensive fire alarm system improvements, facade window replacements, and the addition of two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) with associated plumbing and electrical work.

During this period, there were some community concerns, including a complaint about unauthorized reroofing work in late 2020 and reports of ongoing construction activities. The building has a history of maintenance and safety improvements, completing a reroofing project in late 2020 and addressing several infrastructure needs such as a partial foundation replacement in 2019 and electrical service upgrades. A notable soft-story retrofit was completed, achieving T3 status with a CFC issued.

Historical issues from the early 2000s included several violations related to heating systems, lead paint hazards, and fire safety concerns, though these appear to have been resolved by 2002 and 2004. Recent maintenance records show continued attention to building systems, with a sewer backup incident reported in November 2024 and routine parking enforcement issues in the vicinity. The building underwent periodic housing inspections between 2004-2008, and while there were complaints about mold and heating issues in 2006-2007, these matters were addressed according to inspection records.
