1222-1224 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The duplex at 1222-1224 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Yu Yan H. The property has undergone several significant changes over the years, most notably a major renovation in 2021 that involved legalizing units per ordinance 43-14, installing fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor, and making structural improvements including lateral force resisting elements.

Prior to this, there was a complaint in 2018 regarding an alleged unauthorized dwelling unit with an electric stove used for short-term rentals, which was subsequently confirmed as a violation, resulting in the requirement to remove the range, sink, and shower from the basement rec room to convert it to storage space. The building has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel (2001), reroofing (2011), and a controversial conversion of a non-conforming third unit to a basement rec room (1985).

There have been infrastructure concerns, with a 1999 report of water seepage into the basement apartment. More recent issues include concerns about trees damaging property and blocking sidewalks, with open reports from 2023 and 2024 regarding overgrown trees and lifted sidewalk tree roots. The property has experienced multiple parking-related complaints near the building between 2019 and 2020, though these cases were typically resolved without finding the offending vehicle.
