1251-1253 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1251-1253 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Stephen McElroy. The building underwent significant improvements in 2006-2007, including a voluntary seismic upgrade, interior remodeling, and foundation work along the south and west walls, with permits totaling approximately $85,000. During this renovation period, substantial electrical work was completed, including the installation of new 200-amp overhead service, rewiring of both units, and the installation of new gas furnaces and water heaters.

All related permits have been properly closed, with the most recent final inspection permit issued in May 2022. The building's maintenance and safety record shows regular attention to infrastructure upgrades, particularly during the 2006-2007 renovation period when major systems were modernized. The property has experienced typical urban residential issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to parking concerns on the surrounding street.

There have been multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between 2020 and 2024, with at least one citation issued in March 2020. There were also several tree maintenance and cleaning matters reported in 2023, as well as an incident of illegal postings in March 2023. While these external issues don't directly affect the building's safety or habitability, they indicate the property is located in an area experiencing typical urban challenges related to street parking and maintenance.
