1222-1224 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1222-1224 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Qaqundah Family Living Trust. The building consists of two residential units and contains a commercial restaurant space, most recently operating as "La Boulange". Significant safety upgrades have been made in recent years, including the installation of both automatic and manual fire alarm systems in 2021-2022, and a kitchen fire suppression system in 2012.

The building underwent substantial renovations in 2011-2012, including ADA compliance modifications, electrical system upgrades, and new kitchen equipment installation, with completed work totaling over $100,000. Recent complaints indicate ongoing concerns about construction noise during early morning hours, with two complaints filed in late 2023-2024 about work starting as early as 5:45 AM. Prior issues from 2004-2005 that were successfully abated included multiple violations related to plumbing, electrical systems, smoke detection, lead hazard management, and window repairs.

The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety requirements, as evidenced by regular permits for fire alarm systems and safety improvements. Recent inspections in 2022 noted concerns about ventilation and odors from the restaurant's exhaust system, which was addressed through a Department of Public Health referral. Current unresolved issues as of September 2023 involve shared spaces violations regarding access and visibility concerns near the parking lane. The property underwent a legalization process for a third-floor apartment unit without parking, and there have been multiple permits and approvals for restaurant-related uses, including outdoor seating and various commercial improvements.
