The property at 1275-1281 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Mamakos Revocable Trust. The building has experienced significant recent events, most notably a substantial fire incident in August 2023 that rendered the building unsafe and uninhabitable, leading to the current rehabilitation efforts.

The building has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, including several fire safety violations in 2024 regarding blocked exits, extinguishers, and street numbering, though these have been marked as corrected. Previous violations in 2023 and 2016 related to alarm systems, sleeping area requirements, and various building maintenance issues were also documented and addressed. The building underwent improvements in past years, including roofing work completed in 2020 and repairs to address dry rot, plumbing issues, and other maintenance concerns in 2019.

There were also efforts to legalize additional dwelling units in 2022. The property has a completed Soft Story retrofit program, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent boiler permit renewal issues have been identified as of July 2024, suggesting some ongoing maintenance requirements. While the building has experienced various compliance challenges over the years, particularly regarding fire safety and maintenance issues, current rehabilitation efforts indicate significant investment in restoring and improving the property following the 2023 fire incident.
