1219 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The six-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1219 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was built in 1965 and is currently owned by Donna Won Ing. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years, with the most critical being a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2020 (at a cost of $98,000) to comply with seismic safety requirements, achieving Tier 3 status with CFC issued.

In 2018, there was a complaint regarding restaurant fumes disturbing tenants, and from 2008, the building faced multiple violations including mold/mildew issues, ventilation problems, water damage, and fire safety concerns, all of which were resolved by June 2009. Recent improvements to the building include the installation of new vinyl double-pane windows in Unit 3 in 2022 (cost: $3,800), though there was a fire alarm system violation issued in August 2020 that has since been abated.

The building has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, including the replacement of skylights in 2009 and exterior stucco work. Various minor issues have been documented through 311 calls, including graffiti removal in 2017-2019 and a sign repair in 2023, as well as a parking enforcement matter in 2021. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing violations and making necessary upgrades, with particular attention paid to seismic safety through the soft-story retrofit program.
