1249 18th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122
The 18-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1249 18th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Henia & David Milkier since 2001, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building received a major fire alarm system upgrade costing over $40,000, which included the installation of 45 sounders in sleeping areas. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.
Recent maintenance issues have included a water damage incident in 2023 (resulting in mold growth), and earlier complaints in 2022 regarding deteriorating kitchen fixtures and carpet conditions. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety concerns, with multiple fire system inspections and corrections recorded between 2017 and 2024, including work on sprinklers, extinguishers, and alarm systems. Building violations from 2000 and 2022 related to fire safety and maintenance requirements were all resolved, though a 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements was noted.
Historical repairs include various dry rot remediation projects from the early 1990s through 2009, and more recent building improvements such as vinyl siding installation in 2011 and gas line extension work in 2012. While there have been periodic issues with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding fire safety equipment as documented in multiple violation notices, the owners have generally addressed these concerns in a timely manner. Support for tenants has included routine housing inspections, though some reports suggest sporadic issues with heat maintenance in the late 1990s.
