1241 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The six-unit, two-story apartment building at 1241 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is currently owned by Linda H Rich Revocable Inter Vivos Trust and was constructed in 1959. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $45,000, which has been certified as completed with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, with two expired furnace replacements noted in 2018 and 2020, indicating efforts to maintain heating systems, and previous work including reroofing in 2009 ($7,000) and dry rot repairs in 1986. The building experienced some notable issues in 2002, when multiple fire safety violations were documented regarding fire escape drop ladders, though these were promptly addressed and abated within three weeks. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2002, and 2010, with no follow-up violations recorded.

More recent incident reports in the surrounding area include a hazardous materials incident in 2018 and reports of graffiti in 2017 and 2015, though these were external to the building itself. A recent sanitation issue was reported in December 2024 regarding street conditions near the property. The building's compliance with the city's seismic safety requirements through the completed soft-story retrofit suggests that one of the major structural safety concerns has been addressed, though the expired furnace permits from 2018 and 2020 might indicate the need for follow-up on HVAC system maintenance.
