The property at 1227-1229 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Chen Hongming. The building has undergone several significant maintenance activities over the years, with three documented roofing projects, most recently in 2015 at a cost of $7,000, following a previous $8,000 roofing work in 2009. More recent improvements include plumbing work in December 2024 involving installation of sinks and shower pans.

The building's history includes multiple concerning periods, particularly evident between 1996 and 2002, where numerous violations and complaints were recorded. These included serious maintenance issues such as mold and mildew problems, electrical problems, inadequate heating, plumbing deficiencies, and allegations of unauthorized basement units. The most recent known issues occurred between 2019 and 2020, with complaints about unauthorized basement occupancy and access problems to kitchen and bathroom facilities. The property has also experienced recurring issues with waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and toter management between 2020 and 2023.

Recent exterior maintenance appears to be more stable, with fewer building code violations recorded in recent years, though there have been some complaints about noise and graffiti in the vicinity. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance issues and tenant complaints over a substantial period, particularly concerning basic services and building systems. While recent years suggest improved maintenance and fewer major violations, the property has experienced recurring issues with garbage management and exterior maintenance. The most recent permitted work in 2024 indicates ongoing improvements to the building's amenities.
