1277-1279 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1277-1279 12th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Janette M. Leyden. The building underwent extensive renovations in 2011, with significant improvements to both units, including a major interior renovation on the third floor ($104,000) that involved bathroom relocations, kitchen remodeling, and ceiling and roof repairs on unit 1277.

The first floor was similarly upgraded, transforming spaces into a family room and exercise room, relocating bathrooms, and repairing footings and exterior stairs, with this work totaling approximately $40,000. The renovation project included comprehensive updates to plumbing systems, electrical infrastructure (including new 200-amp service installations), and interior finishes across both units, with a total investment exceeding $200,000. More recent history shows a few maintenance and infrastructure issues, including a sewage backup incident in December 2021 and a missing side sewer vent cover in January 2023, though both issues were resolved.

The property has experienced some recurring parking issues, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways recorded between 2021 and 2023, though many of these cases were either resolved or found to be invalid upon investigation. A recent building complaint filed in November 2023 regarding broken window frames is currently listed as not active. The property has also required repairs to its curb and ramp facilities, with documentation showing both damaged sidewalks and missing curb wings requiring attention. While the building's major systems received substantial upgrading during the 2011 renovation, the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues in recent years that have required attention, particularly regarding sewer infrastructure and access concerns.
