1338 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit apartment building at 1338 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is managed by Aoe 1338 LLC and was constructed in 1961. The two-story multi-family residential building has undergone significant safety improvements, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $120,000, which brought the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. This work was completed successfully and included the addition of a new window in the laundry room, and the building received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

The building's safety record shows several required improvements and routine inspections over the years. In 2002, multiple fire safety violations were addressed promptly, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, and garbage receptacle placement. A 2010 inspection noted the need for a central alarm system and security improvements, which were subsequently resolved.

More recent routine inspections in 2018 showed no active violations. The property has experienced various maintenance issues typical for its age, including sewer-related concerns in 2016 and 2017, and tree root problems affecting sidewalks. Recent 311 calls have primarily been related to parking enforcement on or near the property, with no reported incidents of structural safety concerns or significant building systems failures. Two fire incidents have been recorded: a contained cooking fire and a malfunctioning alarm system, neither resulting in civilian injuries.
