1259 11th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1259 11th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Chan Family Trust, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past several years. Most notably, in early 2023, the building received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade, replacing the fire alarm system to meet current code requirements with the addition of low frequency sounders in sleeping areas, along with new smoke detectors, pull stations, and notification systems in common areas.

The building is fully compliant with San Francisco's mandatory seismic retrofit requirements, having completed a soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $65,000, and most recently, a house trap replacement was completed in October 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with past repairs including addressing dry rot in 1996 and reroofing in 1989. While there was a cluster of fire safety violations in December 2003 related to smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and fire escape maintenance, all these issues were promptly abated by January 2004.

More recent building inspections have not revealed any active violations. The property has experienced some fire-related incidents, including a contained trash fire in 2023, though no civilian injuries were reported, and the fire alarm system was subsequently corrected. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and street cleaning in the vicinity of the building, these are external to the property and not indicative of building conditions.
