1315-1317 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1315-1317 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1978, currently owned by Raymond C Gordon-brow. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, including a bathroom remodel in Unit #2 in 2016 that featured eco-friendly lighting and a water heater replacement in 2021.

Historical improvements include a rear yard deck installation completed in 1999 and a reroofing project from 1995, though the latter permit is now expired. The building has experienced multiple fire alarm incidents, all of which were determined to be false alarms or caused by system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported in any case. The property has faced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a collapsed sidewalk condition reported in February 2020 that remains open, and a missing side sewer vent cover reported during the same month that was subsequently resolved.

The building and its surroundings have been subject to various infrastructure and maintenance matters, including multiple reports of damaged parking meters in 2019, graffiti removal in 2020, and various customer service interactions with the Department of Public Works. More recently, a construction-related noise complaint was filed in June 2023. While the property has maintained compliance with building codes and regulations, the recurring nature of false fire alarm activations between 2017 and 2020 suggests a systematic issue with the building's alarm system.
