1255 16th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1255 16th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Lin-pineda Amy & Pineda Lui, has undergone several significant changes and faced various challenges since its construction in 1972. Originally a hotel, the building was converted to apartments in 1991, following a series of compliance inspections. The property has experienced several notable incidents, including fire damage requiring repairs in 1985, the removal of illegal office partitions in 1988, and dry rot repairs in 1996.

A gas houseline extension was completed in 2011, representing the most recent major infrastructure work. The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2002, 2009, and 2018, with various violations identified and subsequently abated. These violations have included fire safety issues (requiring smoke detector installation and fire extinguisher recharging), security concerns (such as deadlatch lock requirements), and plumbing issues (including drainage pipe capping).

The property has also faced more recent challenges, as evidenced by a 2024 sidewalk defect report and a 2021 mold and mildew complaint that was transferred to the Department of Public Health's Environmental Health division. While there was one recorded fire-related incident involving a smoke detector malfunction, it resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's permit history shows a mix of completed, cancelled, and expired permits, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance work throughout its history.
