Augrented Insights Report

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1259 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Philip J Fong Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2017, the building underwent reroofing work costing approximately $17,960, and there were reports of construction activity raising safety concerns about scaffolding in March 2017. A notable improvement project was completed in 2016, involving the replacement of 17 windows (with 4 visible from the street) and the installation of Hardie siding to all walls at a cost of $50,000.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to exterior upkeep, including earlier reroofing work in 1988 and vinyl siding installation in 1989. The building experienced a series of violations in February 2005 related to safety requirements, including handrail repairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas meter instruction postings, all of which were resolved by March 2005. A 2017 complaint indicated issues with bathroom sink overflow valves that affected tenant comfort.

The property has been subject to regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent one recorded in 2017. While the building's major systems and safety features have required attention over the years, proper resolution of violations suggests compliance with safety standards. Recent activity at the address has primarily involved parking-related issues and routine municipal service calls, with no current building-specific violations or complaints on record.
