1252 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1252 48th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, owned by the Nunez Family Trust Of 2017, has a documented history since its construction in 1963, with several significant events impacting resident safety and comfort. Most notably, the building has undergone recent fire safety system upgrades, with a major fire alarm system modification completed in August 2023 and a subsequent fire alarm system upgrade completed in December 2023, which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current code requirements.

The building experienced two significant fire incidents in 1988-1989, requiring repairs to units 5 and 6, though no recent fire-related incidents have been reported. The property has maintained regular infrastructure improvements, including multiple roofing projects, with the most recent reroofing work permitted in February 2018 at a cost of approximately $16,400. The building's maintenance record shows attention to building systems, though there have been recurring issues with the fire alarm system, evidenced by multiple false alarms and system malfunctions recorded between 2016 and 2017, and a fire safety violation in 2002 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance in public hallways (which was promptly abated).

The property has experienced occasional sewer issues, with reports of backups in 2016 and 2019, and there have been multiple complaints about driveway blocking incidents in 2018. A neighborhood complaint regarding unsafe construction practices was filed in April 2023, though this was subsequently marked as not active. The building's recent history suggests active management of safety systems, particularly fire safety, with significant investment in system upgrades to meet current code requirements, though some legacy issues related to fire alarm performance and parking enforcement have persisted in the building's history.
