1254 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1254 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Nicklas Helen, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1962. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2023, addressing critical safety concerns and achieving Tier 3 compliance with an $85,750 retrofit cost.

The building has maintained its structural integrity through various maintenance projects, including a reroofing completed in 1996, replacement of single-glazed windows with dry rot repairs in 1991, and a code compliance improvement in 1987. The property has undergone routine housing inspections over the years, with several violations noted and subsequently resolved, particularly related to fire safety and emergency preparedness. These included issues with fire escape ladders, combustible storage, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were abated between 2000 and 2018.

A minor fire incident occurred in 2011 due to a cooking accident, and there was one alarm malfunction recorded, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Recent maintenance and safety improvements have continued to be addressed through 311 calls and inspections, with the most recent being general cleaning and graffiti removal, including a parking violation citation in 2020. The building's history shows consistent attention to safety requirements and maintenance needs, with all identified violations being resolved, though requiring repeated inspections to ensure compliance.
