1374-1376 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 1374-1376 20th Ave in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Alex & Yelena Fisherman Rev, has undergone significant changes since its 1908 construction. Most notably, between 2018-2019, the building underwent a major legalization project for a previously unauthorized first-floor unit, which included comprehensive fire safety upgrades with the installation of 17 sprinklers and a new sprinkler monitoring system, all completed at a total cost exceeding $115,000.

This unit legalization prompted multiple improvement works, including kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical upgrades for GFCI outlets and receptacles, and the resolution of several building code violations related to the unauthorized unit, such as unapproved wiring, plumbing, and lack of proper fire separation between units. The building's recent history shows attention to safety and code compliance, with the sprinkler system modifications being particularly noteworthy in terms of fire safety improvements.

Prior to these upgrades, the property had experienced some concerning issues, including complaints about a possible illegal unit with flooding and moisture problems in January 2018, and during construction in October 2018, there were safety concerns raised about unsecured debris removal. A series of 311 calls from 2018-2021 primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance issues, though these were not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The property's records show systematic efforts to bring the building into compliance with current codes and regulations, particularly focusing on fire safety enhancements and unit legalization, with all recent permits marked as completed, suggesting successful resolution of previous violations related to unauthorized modifications and use.
