1295 47th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1295 47th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has undergone significant changes since its 1960 construction, most notably a major 2018-2019 renovation that added four ground-floor ADUs with full amenities, replacing eight former garage spaces.

This $230,000 project was followed by extensive unit renovations, including kitchen and bathroom updates in multiple units (1, 7, and 8), electrical upgrades including a 400-amp service upgrade, and comprehensive fire safety improvements including sprinkler system installations, new fire alarm monitoring, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety codes. Recent maintenance issues have emerged, particularly in early 2024, including window problems (improper sealing/insulation and mold), fire escape ladder concerns, and various building code violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and structural maintenance.

While many of these 2024 violations show a status of "Not Active" with an abatement date of May 2024, there remains ongoing concern about waste management practices at the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls and complaints regarding garbage receptacle management. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story structure, though records indicate that required retrofit work has been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion has been issued.
