1354-1358 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1354-1358 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a three-story, multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1910 and containing three units. The building has undergone significant commercial modifications, particularly related to restaurant operations, with major work performed in 2015 including the installation of 14 downdraft BBQ tables, grease exhaust systems, and associated mechanical equipment totaling over $60,000 in permitted work. However, the building experienced a notable fire incident in September 2021 that damaged the mechanical ducting system, requiring subsequent repairs and final inspections in late 2021 costing approximately $9,000.

The property has a history of both permitted and unpermitted modifications, including a recent complaint filed in April 2022 regarding an unpermitted sign installation above a residential unit window sill. The building's mechanical systems have required multiple updates, including a 2018 sewer lateral replacement and various plumbing and electrical improvements related to restaurant operations. Fire safety compliance has been an ongoing concern, with violations noted in 2020 regarding operations without proper permits, though these were ultimately abated in January 2023.

Recent maintenance issues have included graffiti removal (2024) and a missing side sewer vent cover (2024). The building's location has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024. While the restaurant space has undergone significant improvements, the property has faced challenges with mechanical system maintenance, fire safety compliance, and unauthorized modifications, though most recent violations have been addressed through proper permit acquisitions and corrections.
