1242-1244 42nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

This three-story, 1925 multi-family residential building located at 1242-1244 42nd Avenue in the Outer Sunset, owned by the Lee/xu Family Trust, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the years. Major work was completed in 2007-2008, including the addition of a bedroom and bathroom at the ground floor, extensive remodeling of two kitchens and four bathrooms, replacement of windows, front stucco work, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades. These improvements, totaling approximately $100,000, included new skylights, railings, and substantial electrical rewiring with a service upgrade to 200 amps.

Two complaints were filed during this renovation period: one regarding uninspected work in July 2011 (resolved within two days) and another in January 2008 concerning excavation work in the garage, which was quickly addressed. The building's earlier history includes foundation underpinning work in 2001 due to adjacent property construction. More recent issues have primarily involved exterior maintenance and neighborhood concerns, such as garbage management and sidewalk parking violations, with several 311 calls between 2012 and 2019.

A 2014 complaint about changes to the concrete front setback and street tree area was noted in planning records. The most recent incident related to the property was recorded in September 2024, involving human waste or urine on the street, which was resolved by city services. While the building has undergone significant improvements over the years, most of the recent complaints have been related to external factors rather than building condition or maintenance issues.
