1425-1429 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1425-1429 Irving Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with three units, constructed in 1908 in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. The building underwent significant modifications between 2018 and 2024, most notably the conversion of a ground floor commercial unit into two separate spaces: one retaining retail use at the street front and another converted to a residential unit in the rear. This project, costing approximately $120,000, included the installation of new HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure. The conversion work was completed in multiple phases, requiring several permits and extensions for fire safety system installations, including a comprehensive sprinkler system throughout the ground floor ADU with 24 heads and a dedicated fire service.

The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, including multiple violations related to vacant storefronts between 2019 and 2023, though these violations are now marked as not active. There were also instances of sewer issues in 2021-2022 that required attention. Recent improvements include the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system and related fire safety equipment in 2024, costing $13,851. The property has undergone various maintenance and compliance actions, including sidewalk repairs in 2003 and multiple responses to building complaints regarding vacant commercial space.

A 2023 complaint regarding graffiti and a 2024 report of human waste or urine near the property are among the more recent concerns, though many older issues have been resolved. This extensive renovation project has included careful attention to safety systems, with multiple permits issued for fire sprinklers, electrical upgrades, and plumbing modifications. The building's ownership has engaged in systematic improvements, though there remain minor open issues such as recent graffiti and a general request for service related to urban forestry from 2023. The property has transitioned from mixed-use to a combination of residential and retail spaces, with significant investment in modernization and safety systems over the past several years.
