1285-1287 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 1285-1287 10th Avenue property is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1908 and currently owned by Ferguson Susan & Helen P C. The property has undergone significant commercial tenant improvements in recent years, most notably converting to retail cannabis use in 2022, with associated improvements including new wall partitions, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work valued at $190,000. This work was accompanied by multiple related permits for signage and security improvements, including electric signs and roll-down security gates.

In 2023, there was an attempt (later cancelled) to install an interior lift system between basement and street level, following earlier revisions to add a pony wall and modify interior partitions. The building has maintained compliance with building codes since resolving a 2011-2014 violation regarding unpermitted shelf and counter installations, which was ultimately resolved through proper permitting and completion of structural work in 2014. Recent maintenance includes completed HVAC rooftop work in December 2024 and various plumbing improvements related to the commercial space.

The property's recent history shows active management and significant investment in both residential and commercial spaces, with particular attention to compliance and safety standards following past violations. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external maintenance issues such as street cleaning and debris removal, typical for an urban setting, with no serious safety concerns reported. The building's transformation to retail cannabis use has been fully permitted and complies with city regulations, with proper security and operational improvements implemented. While some historical violations occurred, these have been addressed properly, and recent permit activity shows the owners are maintaining the building and its commercial space with appropriate oversight and investment.
