1247-1249 44th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1247-1249 44th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909, currently owned by Leonid and Marina Galinsky. The property experienced significant construction-related issues in 2009-2011, when an unauthorized vertical addition to a third floor triggered a building violation complaint filed in October 2009, which was officially noted in the San Francisco Building Code as being constructed without proper permits or neighbor notification. This illegal construction included a new bathroom, family room, and deck, with an estimated cost of $50,000, though the permits for this work were ultimately withdrawn.

The violation was addressed through a compliance permit completed in 2011, which mandated the removal of the unauthorized addition at a cost of $7,500, and was officially abated in December 2012. More recent improvements to the property include electrical upgrades in 2012, with completed work on living room lighting, switches, and outlets, as well as a main service upgrade to 100 amps with two meters. Two separate electrical permits from 2012 show attempts to upgrade the service to 200 amps, though one of these permits was cancelled.

The building's maintenance history includes termite repairs documented in 1996, and minimal recent activity, with only one building-related incident recorded in the past decade: a street cleaning sign repair in 2017. There were three reports of abandoned motorcycles near the property in 2014 and 2015, but these were traffic-related issues and not directly related to the building's condition or management. A single public service assistance incident was recorded, with no civilian injuries reported.
