1273-1277 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1273-1277 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset, built in 1906, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 costing $25,487 to comply with current fire safety codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has a record of addressing safety concerns, with gas leak tests and repairs completed in 2012 for apartments 1 and 2, and historical repairs including reroofing in 2006 and dry rot remediation in 1991.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over its history, though most have been promptly addressed. In 2000, multiple violations were documented regarding window frames, handrails, and appliances, which were all abated within two months. More recent tenant complaints in 2010 revealed issues with bathroom flooring, water pressure, and window functionality, though these were resolved quickly.

The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1997, 1999, and 2005, all of which have been marked as not active. Notably, there were two fire alarm system complaints in 2014 and 2015, both of which were promptly corrected, demonstrating the owner's responsiveness to safety concerns. The most recent building upgrades and prompt resolution of various complaints suggest ongoing commitment to maintaining the property, though the age of the building and historical maintenance issues indicate typical challenges associated with older multi-family residences.
