1281-1283 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1281-1283 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, currently owned by the Yu Tien Lei Revocable Trust. The building's most significant historical compliance achievement was a comprehensive compliance improvement completed in 1984. In October 2009, the property underwent a routine housing inspection that resulted in multiple safety violations, primarily related to security and fire safety requirements.

These violations included the need for self-closing devices at exterior doors, proper fire extinguisher installation and tagging, primary locking devices at exterior doors, and gas utility shutoff tool requirements. Notably, all these violations were resolved within a month, by November 5, 2009. The building has had four routine housing inspections over the years (1999, 2005, 2009, and late 2009), with all issues being resolved.

A concerning incident related to building safety was documented as a gas leak situation, though no civilian injuries were reported. In recent years, particularly between 2022-2024, there has been ongoing parking-related enforcement activity near the property, with numerous reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, although most resulted in officers being unable to locate the vehicles in question. The most recent building-related interaction with city services was a noise complaint regarding a major event venue in August 2024, which was resolved. While the property has maintained its basic safety compliance since 2009, the recurring parking enforcement issues in the vicinity suggest an ongoing challenge with managing parking regulations around the building.
