1226-1228 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1226-1228 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924 and currently owned by Richard Shiono Irrevocable Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent work being an in-kind bathroom remodeling project on the third floor, currently in progress as of December 2024, with associated electrical and plumbing permits issued.

Prior major renovations include a roof replacement in 2023 (cost: $26,500), the proposed addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at the ground floor rear filed in 2022, and substantial electrical system upgrades in 2020 including complete replacement of the knob-and-tube wiring system and a 200-amp service upgrade. The building received several important infrastructure updates in 2021 including a kitchen remodel and water heater replacement, and in 2022, a tankless water heater installation. The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in 2024, with eight documented complaints about driveway blocking, though most were either unable to locate the offending vehicle or were marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information.

There was also an open case regarding a damaged tree with hanging limbs in January 2025. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including three roof replacements dating back to 1990, and significant safety improvements such as the complete rewiring in 2020. The ADU project filed in 2022 remains under review as of the latest planning records.
