1201-1209 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1201-1209 5th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Deforest Family Trust, was constructed in 1922 and contains four units. The most significant recent improvements occurred in 2021, when Unit 1207 underwent a comprehensive renovation including bathroom additions and remodeling, structural support enhancements, and complete electrical and plumbing updates, with a reported cost of $130,000.

The building has seen several major infrastructure improvements, including heating system installations for Units 1201 and 1207 in 2017-2016, a complete reroofing in 2011, and a safety-focused ladder replacement in 2010. While there have been some maintenance issues in the past, including stair repairs and a leak investigation in 2005-2017, these problems were promptly addressed.

The building experienced a cluster of 311 calls between late 2024 and early 2025 primarily related to graffiti and structural maintenance, though these have been resolved. Notably, there were no reported fire incidents causing civilian injuries, and while parking violations occurred in mid-2024, they were handled by enforcement officers. A historical inspection from 1989 recorded a violation related to parking restoration, but this was completed in 2005, and the building has met routine inspection requirements since, with no active violations on record.
