The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1271-1273 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Roland Lee 2006 Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, in December 2024, permits were issued for the replacement of 18 windows not visible from the street, representing ongoing maintenance of the building's exterior. Critical safety upgrades were completed in 2018, including the installation of a fire alarm communication unit to monitor the existing sprinkler system and an electrical upgrade to a 200-amp service with new wiring.

The building underwent substantial improvements between 2016-2018, including the addition of a new ground floor unit with comprehensive plumbing and electrical work, installation of a new water fan coil unit, and a complete fire sprinkler system installation for the ground floor. The property has a history of addressing health and safety concerns, particularly in 2003 when violations were issued and subsequently resolved regarding various maintenance issues including egress obstruction, door repairs, mold control, and lead paint hazards. Infrastructure improvements include a complete sewer replacement in 2009, and various maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including a 2013 sewage backup incident and periodic exterior maintenance needs.

Recent activity (2024) includes attention to tree maintenance in the vicinity of the property. The ground floor unit addition was completed under the ADU program, adding two bedrooms, two full baths, kitchen, living room, den, and laundry facilities. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both normal upkeep and safety improvements, with most recent work focusing on window replacement and ongoing system upgrades.
