1220 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 24-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1220 14th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Juliet A Stanton Revocable Living Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety updates since its construction in 1959. Most recently, in 2024, the building underwent a $57,000 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SFFC requirements and had some exterior deck guard-rail repairs due to rust damage.

The building has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including concrete column replacements in 2018 (initially 3 columns, later expanded to 5 due to corrosion issues) and multiple railing replacements between 2015-2018 across various unit decks. There have also been regular HVAC system updates, with multiple unit furnace replacements documented between 2017-2019, and the installation of new water heaters in 2018. The building has faced periodic issues with water intrusion and maintenance, notably in 2024 with complaints regarding water intrusion, mold, and a leaking ceiling in unit 308, as well as documented water damage issues between 2007-2014 affecting windows and sliding doors.

Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with multiple fire-related complaints between 2009 and 2023, including violations related to sleeping area requirements and extinguishers, though all have been marked as corrected. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, demonstrated by timely permit acquisition for various improvements, though there were some historical concerns regarding boiler permits in 2010, 2014, and 2016 that were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance efforts appear focused on both cosmetic improvements and essential safety systems, including emergency lighting installation in 2020 and various plumbing upgrades.
