123 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 123 12th Avenue in the Lake - The Presidio neighborhood, owned by Jennifer Lau Wong, was constructed in 1970 and has undergone several notable events in its history. The building experienced a significant series of fire safety violations in August 2001, which included issues with smoke detectors in the lobby and stairwell, fire extinguisher maintenance, fire proofing materials, and the need for a gas utility shutoff tool. All these violations were abated by December 6, 2001.

Subsequently, a routine inspection in May 2008 identified additional fire safety concerns, including the need for smoke enclosure door closers and directional signs, along with some plumbing and electrical requirements; these issues were resolved by July 15, 2008. A water heater upgrade was completed in May 2008 for Unit 1, involving seismic bracing and raising the unit to 18 inches above the floor. More recent history shows some ongoing maintenance and quality-of-life issues around the property, including three reports of dog barking noise between 2015 and 2023, a noise complaint about amplified sound electronics in 2019, and several reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2015 and 2017.

The building also had instances of graffiti in July 2015, which was documented and resolved. Fire-related incidents on record include two false alarms - one involving a carbon monoxide detector malfunction - but notably, neither incident resulted in civilian injuries. A roofing project was undertaken in 1990, though that permit has since expired. The building's recent history has been relatively stable, with no active violations or complaints relating to major safety systems as of the latest records available.
