1345-1349 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1345-1349 12th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by the Jean Y Chin Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple violations over the years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2005-2007. Major improvements included complete rewiring of all three units, installation of fire sprinklers, roof framing repairs, foundation work, garage construction, and various unit remodels.

These renovations followed serious building violations from 2005 citing deteriorated stairs, inadequate plumbing and electrical systems, and roof replacement needs. The property also had historical issues with lead paint notification in 2000, though this was abated by 2015. Prior to the renovations, the building faced significant challenges, including a 2003 withdrawn demolition permit and multiple complaints about homelessness and disrepair in the mid-2000s.

There were also concerns about construction work exceeding permitted scope in 2006, particularly regarding a rear cottage and roof modifications. Since 2020, the building's issues have primarily been related to parking, with numerous complaints about driveway blocking between 2022-2024, though these are external to the building's condition. A notable recent incident involved a Christmas tree removal in January 2024, which was promptly addressed. The property's extensive renovation history suggests a substantial investment in improving building systems and infrastructure, though it should be noted that some work occurred under previously issued citations for various building deficiencies.
