1216 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1216 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset district, owned by the Johnny T Ho Living Trust, has undergone several significant modifications and faced various regulatory requirements since its construction in 1925. Most notably, in 2024, the building has been engaged in demonstrating compliance with local fire alarm requirements, as evidenced by permits filed in October and November 2024, which may indicate ongoing efforts to maintain or upgrade fire safety systems.

Earlier improvements to the property include substantial renovations in 2000 when ADA-compliant two bedrooms and a bathroom were added at the ground floor, along with separate living and laundry rooms, followed by reroofing work in 2003 costing $6,000, and staircase repairs in 1998. The building's history includes a significant cluster of violations in 2001 related to lead paint hazards, garbage receptacle placement, and fire safety concerns, all of which were addressed and abated by July 2002.

This resolution period included removal of damaged paint, proper placement of garbage receptacles, and addressing lead hazard concerns per the attached warnings. More recent building maintenance issues have been limited to external matters, including parking enforcement calls in 2020 and 2021, and an overgrown street tree complaint in 2021 which was scheduled for future attention under the city's StreetTreeSF program. The property's more recent history (post-2002) shows improved compliance with building regulations, with no active violations or complaints related to the building's interior conditions in recent years, though the 2024 fire alarm permit activity suggests ongoing attention to safety systems.
