1224 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1224 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by David Monetta, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in February 2024, the building received a fire alarm upgrade costing nearly $27,000 to meet current fire marshal requirements, including the installation of new horns in units and a wireless radio communicator.

The building has successfully completed important safety retrofits, including a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) costing $80,000, and a sewer line replacement in 2022. Significant maintenance work has been performed on various building elements, including exterior stair repairs in 2015 ($7,500), window replacements in Unit #1 in 2015 ($5,023), and two full roof replacements (1993 and a more recent one in 2010, $9,000). The building's historical record shows some notable safety and maintenance issues, particularly a cluster of violations in March 2006 that included problems with stairs, lead paint hazards, egress obstruction, and security door self-closing devices.

These violations were all properly addressed by September 2006, according to records. The property has maintained an active presence in addressing routine building maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for various street and sidewalk issues between 2017 and 2023, including encampment removal, graffiti, and illegal postings. Recent improvements and compliance with safety requirements, such as the 2024 fire alarm upgrade and completed soft story retrofit, suggest ongoing attention to maintaining building safety standards and infrastructure.
