1232-1234 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1232-1234 6th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by George Dong and Lila Wong-don, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1904. The most critical safety upgrades include the completion of a soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 (classified as Tier 3), installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2016, and a new backflow prevention system for fire protection in 2017.

The building's recent history shows active maintenance and upgrades, with the most recent major work being a $45,000 renovation in 2018 of Apartment #4 which included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, along with electrical system upgrades including a new subpanel. The property's administrative record indicates previous challenges that have been addressed, including a period from 2006-2008 where there were complaints about handrails, water heaters, and concerns about unauthorized units affecting parking spaces.

The building underwent significant improvements in 2014 when a ground floor unit was legalized, followed by various infrastructure upgrades including a new roof in 2003, seismic retrofitting, and electrical system improvements. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved exterior maintenance and routine inspections, with some 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to parking issues and sidewalk cleaning, though these are common neighbourhood occurrences and not necessarily indicative of building-specific problems. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the issuance of Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the soft-story retrofit and the absence of any active building violations.
