1296-1298 40th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1296-1298 40th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Lee Siu Bik. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades, most recently receiving a shower pan inspection in September 2023 and undergoing a complete reroofing in September 2021, which cost $15,600.

In 2016, the building underwent substantial exterior work, including the removal of vinyl siding and installation of V groove siding on the front and side, along with new fiber cement siding on the rear, at a cost of $33,000. Earlier improvements included the renovation of exterior stairs at the rear of the duplex in 2008 ($6,000) and stucco repairs in 1994. The property has experienced minimal resident-impacting issues in recent years, though there have been several 311 calls regarding street-related matters.

These include multiple reports of flooding issues on the street in November 2024 (which required no work), a resolved garbage and debris complaint in January 2025, and several parking-related incidents between 2022 and 2024, including complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. While these exterior issues have been addressed through appropriate channels, they primarily relate to street and public space concerns rather than the building's structural integrity or resident amenities. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, with no recorded violations or serious safety concerns in recent history.
