1264 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 1264 3rd Avenue property in the Inner Sunset district is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Nancy E Ryti Spousal Irrevo. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being an active complaint filed in March 2024 regarding various maintenance problems including weather proofing, siding repairs, detached gutter, damaged interior walls, and missing windows. This followed a pattern of complaints from 2021 describing unpermitted work by an elderly owner, including chimney rebuilding, window issues, and safety concerns about hanging gutters.

The property has undergone multiple renovation attempts over the years, with permits showing work on kitchens, bathrooms, and general maintenance, though some permits were marked expired or expired without completion. Major historical improvements include electrical system upgrades in 2010-2011 to address various violations, plumbing work including water heater and furnace flue installation, and multiple repairs to address interior surface issues including mold/mildew problems documented in 2000. Most recently, there is a proposal under review for significant horizontal and vertical additions to the existing building, including the addition of an ADU unit at the basement level, which would expand the total residential space to approximately 4,800 square feet. This project represents the most substantial potential change to the property in recent years.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including a period of vacancy in 2023, multiple complaints about electrical work, plumbing issues, and interior surface problems. There was also a combustible materials violation noted in late 2021 that was corrected by May 2022. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs, with multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits, leading to various compliance issues that required subsequent remediation work. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the proposed expansion project may address some of these issues through comprehensive renovation work.
