1266 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1266 34th Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1992, this two-story structure has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most concerning being a structural collapse of the front landing in 2015-2016 that compromised the building's egress system. This incident, which resulted from deteriorated wood framing and dry rot, required multiple repairs including a $20,000 reconstruction project in October 2015, followed by additional work to address associated violations in 2016.

The building has also undergone several major renovations and maintenance projects, including window and sliding door installations in 2017, exterior siding repairs, and two separate re-roofing projects (2013 and 1998). The property has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with multiple incidents of sewage backups reported between 2011 and 2020, including a December 2011 incident involving raw sewage on the sidewalk and street. Recent building permits show ongoing maintenance activity, including exterior improvements and window replacements, suggesting the owners are actively maintaining the property.

The building's only recorded fire-related incident was a false alarm. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding structural elements and plumbing systems, recent records show no active violations or building complaints, indicating the major historical issues have been addressed. The most recent building-related activity was a parking enforcement matter in February 2024, unrelated to building conditions.
