1259 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1259 14th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Lois Wong Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges since its construction in 1908. The building has seen consistent maintenance and improvements over the past several years, with notable work including a bathroom remodel and associated plumbing and electrical upgrades in late 2017, rear wood deck repairs in 2019, and subpanel replacements for units B and C in early 2018.

A serious set of violations was recorded in January 2019, primarily related to fire safety and interior maintenance issues, including egress obstruction, lack of proper fire extinguishers, interior wall condition, and lead hazard concerns; these violations were subsequently abated by June 2020. The most pressing current issue is an active complaint from December 2024 regarding a ceiling leak. Historical records show the building underwent substantial modifications in 1984 with middle level remodeling and upper level enlargement, and there has been regular attention to building systems such as electrical and plumbing maintenance.

The property has experienced recurring infrastructure-related maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years concerning catch basin maintenance and street cleaning. A concerning past incident involved a complaint in 1996 regarding possible illegal units and tenancy violations, though this was resolved by 2012. Recent city services responses indicate ongoing attention to public space maintenance around the building, with several resolved cases for street and sidewalk cleaning between 2013 and 2024, along with a recent rent board inquiry in July 2024.
