1229 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1229 20th Avenue, currently owned by the Yee Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1962. Most notably, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in April 2024, replacing devices with modern horn/strobe combinations and installing low-frequency audible alarms in sleeping areas, with monitoring through 24V GMS-Sole Patch communication.

The property has also maintained compliance with safety requirements, having completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) and addressed all associated violations. Recent improvements include a roof overlay completed in February 2024 and window replacements in 2014, where original aluminum windows were updated and one vinyl sliding door was installed. The building has undergone regular unit-specific renovations, including a bathroom remodel in Unit 5 (2021) and previous updates in Unit 2 (2008), with appropriate plumbing and electrical permits obtained for all work.

Historical maintenance records show attention to basic building upkeep, including siding repairs (1989) and roofing work (1991). The property has had routine housing inspections in 2000, 2002, 2009, and 2014, all of which were resolved. While there have been some fire-related incidents recorded (mostly service calls and smoke scares), none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, and the most recent fire complaint regarding alarm systems in 2024 was marked as "Condition Corrected." The building's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep and responsiveness to safety requirements, with all major systems receiving appropriate updates over time.
