1227 47th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1227 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, owned by Michael Lee and Manju Simmons, is currently undergoing substantial renovation work under an issued $300,000 permit from October 2023. This major renovation includes updates to both second and third levels, featuring a new flat roof with deck, bathroom additions, laundry facilities, and various structural improvements including replacing rear roof dormers with a matching pitched roof. The property has seen significant recent improvements to its infrastructure, including a complete electrical service upgrade to 200 amperes with three meter panels in February 2023, and a hot water heater installation in September 2010.

Historical records show the building was originally constructed in 1907 as a three-story flats and duplex structure. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in the past, though most have been addressed promptly. Notable concerns included a 2010 complaint about various problems such as falling windows, heating issues, plumbing problems, and concerns about deteriorating decks and dry rot in stairs, though these were abated within a few days. An electrical safety complaint was filed in 2005 regarding hazardous wiring, which was resolved within three months.

Two identical alarm system complaints were recorded in June 2017, with one marked as duplicate and the other showing corrected conditions. The building's historical maintenance records include reroofing work completed in 1990 and various other permits from 1983, indicating regular maintenance over the decades. The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues, particularly between 2019-2021, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking the driveway, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. Recent improvements through the current renovation project suggest a significant upgrade to the building's overall condition and safety features, continuing the pattern of regular maintenance observed throughout its history.
