1269-1271 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1269-1271 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Simon P Tao Trust, has undergone several significant modifications since its construction in 1991. The most notable recent improvement was the addition of a glass solarium in 2009-2012 at the rear of the 4th floor roof deck, which included modifications to the fire escape system and the installation of additional sprinkler heads for safety compliance, with a total cost of approximately $39,500.

The building's safety systems received attention during this period, including the relocation and installation of hose bibs and electrical work on the fourth floor balcony, as well as corrections to illegal wiring in the basement room completed in 2003. A significant issue was addressed between 2003 and 2008 regarding an illegal unit in the garage level, for which complaints were filed and violations recorded in January 2003 citing lack of proper permits and certificate of occupancy under the San Francisco Building Code.

This violation was formally abated in December 2008. The building's original construction in 1991 included proper fire sprinkler installation, demonstrating initial compliance with safety requirements. The property has maintained its status as a two-unit residential building since 1991, with all recent modifications properly permitted and completed according to records.
