1201 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 15-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1201 14th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Guinnane Construction Co In, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1985. The building is currently undergoing important safety upgrades, with permits issued in January 2025 for a fire alarm system upgrade costing approximately $65,098. This follows a pattern of attention to fire safety, with previous system modifications documented in July 2024.

The building has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, including dry rot repairs in 2006, and historical issues with mold documented in 2002 affecting multiple windows. Three significant fire-related incidents have been recorded, though fortunately none resulted in injuries, including instances of smoke odor, a cooking fire, and a malfunctioning CO detector. Recent activity in 2024-2025 has shown attention to building maintenance and safety, with electrical system modifications and fire alarm upgrades in progress. There have been multiple reports of garbage and debris in front of the building during 2024, with at least seven documented cases of abandoned garbage that were subsequently resolved.

The building has undergone regular inspections, including a routine common area inspection in December 2018. While historically there have been some regulatory compliance issues, such as unauthorized electrical work in 2006, these appear to have been addressed. The structure's long service life has seen various maintenance activities, including reroofing work in 1996, though one older permit from 1984 has been superseded by subsequent permits. The most recent building permits and fire safety upgrades suggest ongoing investment in building systems and safety compliance.
