1263-1267 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1263-1267 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset district, currently owned by the Sung Family Trust, was constructed in 1908. The property experienced significant code compliance issues in 2022, resulting in multiple violations related to safety equipment and heating systems, including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, and inadequate heating in habitable rooms.

These violations, documented in complaint #202295188 filed in September 2022, were resolved by May 2023 through a comprehensive $17,500 rehabilitation project that included the installation of new safety systems and heating improvements, along with plumbing and electrical work including a new furnace, ductwork, and kitchen circuits. Earlier maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, with handrail repairs in 2011 and stair replacements in 2006, though the building has had some troubling incidents on record, including a 2006 complaint about hazardous fumes from carpet cleaning and a 2016 noise complaint regarding exterior painting work.

The building underwent routine housing inspections throughout the 1990s and 2000s, with varying degrees of issues noted including damaged paint and security concerns. More recently, there were external events affecting the neighborhood, including a Sidewalk defect report in 2023 that was determined to be minor, and the annual Outside Lands Festival noise complaints in August 2024, which were addressed through established community response protocols. The property has shown responsiveness to code violations and safety requirements, with all documented violations now marked as resolved.
