1263-1265 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1263-1265 34th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, currently owned by Optimal Partners GP, is a multi-family residential building that has faced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2023, the building received multiple violations related to construction work practices, including concerns about weather protection, containment systems, and exterior clean-up standards, with particular attention to possible environmental contamination from lead paint due to unsafe work practices. These violations were resolved by late October 2023. Earlier in 2023, the building was recorded as vacant, with complaints about excessive noise during this period.

The building's history includes several unauthorized unit-related issues that were addressed between 2007-2008, including the illegal conversion of a ground floor unit and improper kitchen modifications. A tenant buyout occurred in June 2021 involving two tenants and $170,000 in compensation. The property has undergone various maintenance work, including reroofing in 2015 ($12,000) and several plumbing and electrical repairs in 2007, most of which were related to resolving violations from the same year. These repairs included water heater flue installation, sewerline replacement, and various electrical updates. The building's parking situation has been contentious, particularly regarding off-street parking requirements for a second unit, which has affected a disabled tenant's access to the property.

Records from the past two years show multiple citations for parking violations near the property, though these are primarily street-related issues not directly involving the building itself. A fire-related incident involving a malfunctioning smoke detector was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. The most recent permits and violations suggest ongoing compliance monitoring requirements, particularly related to construction work practices and maintenance of the building's exterior. The property has experienced periods of vacancy and compliance issues, though many of these were addressed through official permits and inspections. The building's age (exact year built not specified) and history of various unauthorized modifications suggest a complex maintenance and compliance history that has required ongoing oversight from city authorities.
