1289 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

This three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building located at 1289 22nd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few years. The most substantial project was a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017, which addressed seismic safety concerns and cost approximately $95,000.

In 2018, the building underwent fire safety improvements including the installation of a new fire alarm system with control panel, smoke detectors, and pull stations ($12,000), along with an upgrade of the sprinkler system with new heads and backflow preventer equipment ($23,000). The building has experienced recurring fire system issues, with violations and complaints regarding the alarm system noted in 2020, 2022, and 2023, though most recent violations have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." The property has received regular maintenance updates, including the replacement of windows and sliding doors with energy-efficient fiberglass frames in 2018 ($23,000). Historical records show earlier maintenance issues were addressed, such as dry rot repairs in 1986 and reroofing in 1996.

Several building violations from 2002 and 2009 regarding fire escape maintenance, egress obstructions, and security systems were all eventually abated. An important accessibility concern was raised in 2016 regarding an uninspected elevator system and non-functioning buzzer system, though these issues appear to have been addressed based on subsequent permits and corrections. More recently, the building has experienced some exterior maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti and sidewalk debris, though these are primarily related to the building's surroundings rather than the structure itself.
