1270 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit apartment building at 1270 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Shelling Property LLC, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the property faced fire safety compliance issues, with violations issued in April 2024 regarding the alarm system maintenance, though these were subsequently abated.

The building received substantial fire safety improvements in 2022-2023, including an upgrade to the fire alarm system with installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a new fire panel to meet current safety standards. In 2020, work was completed to stabilize the building's foundation in coordination with the adjacent structure at 1266 7th Avenue, representing a proactive approach to structural maintenance.

The building's history includes some maintenance challenges in the mid-2000s, with water heater and ceiling repairs required in 2006, and a more complex set of issues in 1994 involving roof leaks, heating system problems, and garage door issues, all of which were resolved. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, records indicate that these have generally been addressed in a timely manner. The building's recent focus on fire safety compliance and the completion of major infrastructure projects suggests an ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property, though prospective tenants should note the recent fire safety violations, which were addressed relatively quickly once identified.
