169 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 169 12th Avenue, built in 1963, is located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over its history. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $67,500, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements.

This followed a period of non-compliance that triggered a violation in 2018 for failing to submit the necessary permit application. The building has also received a new roof in 1990, representing one of its major maintenance updates. Several safety violations were recorded in September 2001, including issues with fire safety equipment and smoke detection systems, though all were abated by November 2001.

A more recent building issue occurred in late 2020 involving a malfunctioning stove that was resolved by February 2021. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, particularly with sewage systems, as evidenced by two separate incidents in 2014. Parking enforcement has been required on several occasions near the property, most recently in April 2024 and October 2021, though these are external matters not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. A routine housing inspection was conducted in April 2008 with no significant issues reported.
