1279-1281 25th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 1279-1281 25th Avenue property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1931 and currently owned by Kathy Ai Gen Tong, the building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over its history. The most recent major improvement was completed in 2019, involving kitchen and bathroom renovations in Unit 101 costing $25,000.

A comprehensive window replacement project was undertaken in 2017, replacing 33 windows (excluding those in the front) at a cost of $15,000. The building's earlier renovation history (2002-2006) shows consistent upgrading of various units, including bathroom and kitchen renovations, electrical work, and deck repairs. The property has experienced several compliance and safety-related issues over the years, most notably in 2003 when multiple violations were recorded regarding unauthorized plumbing work, including the installation of a jacuzzi without proper permits and inspections, which led to concerns about noise, vibration, and a damaged ceiling.

These violations, along with others related to lead paint hazards and inadequate safety features like missing handrails, were eventually resolved by 2007. In 2009, a routine housing inspection brought attention to several safety concerns including lead paint hazards and building safety requirements, though these issues were also subsequently addressed. The building's more recent history shows no major violations or complaints regarding habitability, though there have been multiple reports in late 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans near the property, which were all resolved promptly. A single fire incident was recorded, which turned out to be a false alarm with no civilian injuries.
