1216-1218 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

Located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, 1216-1218 5th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Jonathan Shapiro. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent structural work occurring in 2019, including geo grouting for property line sand conditions and a complete sewer system replacement. A notable kitchen remodel in 2013 followed fire damage repairs in Unit A included comprehensive updates to plumbing, electrical, and interior finishes, totaling approximately $20,000.

The building experienced multiple violations in July 2005, including issues with weatherproofing, window panes, interior surfaces, security features, smoke detectors, and fire escape maintenance, though all these violations were promptly abated by October 2005. A routine inspection in June 2010 identified concerns with fire escape maintenance and combustible storage, while a November 2005 complaint reported issues with heating, plumbing, and smoke detectors, all of which were resolved. The property has maintained compliance since addressing its past violations, with recent activity primarily consisting of parking-related issues on and near the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021-2024 regarding sidewalk parking and driveway blocking.

Infrastructure maintenance has been documented through various permits, including a 1987 foundation repair and a 1997 reroofing project. Recent building safety concerns such as sidewalk parking violations and temporary geo shoring work have been addressed, with no active building violations currently on record. The most recent building-related service requests have focused on parking enforcement, with several citations issued for vehicles parking on sidewalks, and one complaint about toter management in March 2023, which was resolved through outreach and enforcement.
