1261-1263 45th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1261-1263 45th Avenue is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 2002, currently owned by the Lee Family Revocable Trust. The building recently underwent significant modifications in 2023-2024, including the installation of kitchenettes on both the ground floor and fourth floor (completed in January 2024 with associated plumbing and electrical work), and the replacement of a fire ladder from the third-floor deck to the rear yard to meet code compliance (completed in March 2024).

These improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of safety features, though they were preceded by a history of permit-related issues in 2005 when the building faced multiple violations for unpermitted work, including electrical wiring, plumbing installations, and water damage concerns, all of which were resolved by July 2005. Recent activities at the property indicate some ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with higher frequency of issues related to waste management and parking violations. Between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple calls regarding rubbish collection and toter management, suggesting challenges with waste disposal practices at the location.

There have also been recurring complaints about vehicles parking on sidewalks near the property, occurring primarily throughout 2024. The building's most recent fire incident was a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2023, though no carbon monoxide was detected and there were no injuries reported. While the property experienced considerable challenges with unauthorized modifications and safety code compliance in its early years, the recent improvements and prompt response to safety concerns indicate a more proactive approach to building maintenance and regulation adherence in recent years.
