1287-1291 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122
Located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, this 1907 two-story multi-family residential building owned by Darlene Williams-Best has undergone numerous improvements and maintenance work over the years. The most recent significant updates, completed between April and June 2023, include comprehensive bathroom renovations on multiple floors, furnace replacement with associated ductwork modifications, and gas line updates including the installation of earthquake gas auto shutoff valves for four meters.
The building's infrastructure has been consistently maintained, with earlier major works including a reroofing project in 2022 ($9,800), foundation improvements in 2009 ($10,000), and dry rot repairs in 2008 ($10,000). The property underwent a significant conversion in 2007 when an existing third-floor unit was merged, reducing the total unit count from four to three, with the former kitchen space converted into a study and laundry room. Recent plumbing and electrical work has focused on modernizing the building's systems, with records showing water heater replacements in 2019 and 2021, and various electrical improvements including a new sub-panel installation that is currently in progress as of January 2025.
The building has undergone regular routine housing inspections, with records showing compliance and resolution of any noted issues. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues nearby, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways between 2020 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Parking enforcement responses have varied, with some citations issued and others resulting in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles.
