1288 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1288 17th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was built in 1939 and is currently owned by Lee Living Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, including comprehensive unit renovations in Apartments 1, 3, and 4, which involved kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical sub-panel upgrades, and new fixtures between 2014 and 2018, with cost estimates ranging from $20,000 to $30,000 per unit. A notable electrical system upgrade was completed in July 2020 with the installation of a 60-amp sub-panel and extensive rewiring for Unit 2.

The building's electrical infrastructure received substantial attention in 2008 with a 200-amp service upgrade, installing five meters for all units. The property has a documented history of compliance issues, most notably during a routine inspection in October 2009 that revealed multiple violations including security concerns (such as inadequate locks and handrails), fire safety issues (including problems with the garbage chute sprinkler head), and garage ventilation problems. These violations were all addressed and abated by June 2010.

Recent maintenance records show attention to building upkeep, including dry rot and stucco repairs in 2018. The building has experienced various external issues documented through 311 calls, primarily related to parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent service requests occurring in 2024. The property has maintained active compliance with housing services inspections since the resolution of the 2009 violations, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in 2018 showing no active violations.
