1257-1259 44th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1257-1259 44th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building containing three units, owned by Wei Jim Chi & Mamei Chung, and was constructed in 1910. The building's maintenance history includes two significant improvements: a reroofing project completed in 1992 and the installation of vinyl siding to the rear wall in 1990.

The property has undergone three routine housing inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2000, 2002, and 2009, with the 2009 inspection revealing multiple violations that were subsequently addressed by October 2009. The 2009 violations included concerns about fire safety (fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstructions, and garbage receptacle placement), security requirements (self-closing exterior doors), and building code compliance (handrail requirements).

While all these violations were abated, there was a recurring pattern of fire safety issues, as a similar set of violations was documented during the 2000 inspection. The property has also experienced various external issues documented through 311 calls, primarily related to parking violations and abandoned vehicles between 2019 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The most recent activity on record is a parking enforcement response from May 2024 regarding a blocked driveway situation.
