1042-1048 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building at 1042-1048 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Fong Clark Leong, has undergone several significant changes and improvements since its construction in 1914. Recent activity includes a completed conversion of a previously vacant B occupancy space to a convenience store in December 2024, following a withdrawn attempt to convert it to a limited restaurant in September 2023.

Notable accessibility improvements were made in 2022 with the installation of an ADA-compliant front door and toilet room at 1046 Irving Street, along with new bathroom facilities that same year. The building has maintained its infrastructure through regular maintenance, including multiple roofing projects, the most recent completed in 2019 at a cost of $23,000, and a substantial electrical system upgrade in 2008 that added additional circuits and upgraded the main service. The property has experienced some maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most concerning incidents occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic period in 2020-2021, including a blocked exit in the common areas and reported rodent/insect infestation, though both were marked as "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected." Graffiti has been a recurring issue, with multiple incidents reported between 2022-2023.

Historical records show some building code violations in 2000 regarding smoke detectors and gas meter instructions, which were promptly addressed. Fire safety inspections from 2010-2021 revealed various concerns about extinguishers and alarm systems, all of which were resolved through corrective actions. The building's systems have been regularly updated and maintained, with significant improvements to accessibility, electrical infrastructure, and safety features over the past two decades.
