1287 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-unit, three-story apartment building at 1287 12th Avenue in the Inner Sunset was built in 1908 and is currently owned by Kin Hing & Shuk Yin Chan 20. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the years, with the most recent being plumbing work in May 2022 involving the replacement of a 15-foot section of broken 4-inch pipe. In late 2020, a bathroom renovation was completed in Apartment 2, and in 2015, the building received minor repairs to its siding and the replacement of five windows in the north side lightwell.

Historical records show termite repairs were completed in 1988 and a reroofing project was undertaken in 1996, though the roofing permit has since expired. The building experienced notable safety and maintenance challenges in June 2001, when multiple violations were documented during a routine inspection, including issues with fire safety (missing fire escape ladder, combustible storage concerns), lead paint hazards, and security requirements regarding unit identification numbers. All these violations were abated by December 2001.

More recent inspection records show routine checks in 2011 and 1995, with the latter revealing concerns about paint conditions and water damage that were subsequently addressed. The property has generated various 311 calls between 2018-2022, primarily related to external issues such as graffiti, sidewalk defects, and sewer concerns, with one significant sewage backup incident reported and resolved in December 2018. While most external issues have been resolved, they indicate ongoing maintenance and management challenges related to the building's environment and infrastructure.
