1386 30th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 14-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1386 30th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, currently owned by the Iwase Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some safety-related issues since its construction in 1971. Most notably, in April 2024, the building is actively undergoing a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing over $21,000, which includes the installation of new manual pull stations, smoke detectors, 520Hz low-frequency audibles, and a monitored fire alarm control panel with Starlink communication - an indication of ongoing commitment to safety improvements despite prior fire safety concerns.

The building has experienced three fire-related complaints in recent years, including issues with alarm systems in February 2022 and most recently in February 2024, and one incident involving extinguishers in March 2022, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected." The property has seen substantial investment in maintaining and upgrading its facilities, including a major window replacement project in 2014 costing $48,000 that involved updating 53 windows in the front and side of the building, and 21 windows at the rear, as well as replacing five sliding doors to comply with egress requirements. Historical records show other maintenance work including termite repairs in 1988, reroofing in 1994, and two individual window installations in 1996.

The building underwent a routine housing inspection in December 2001, which was completed without any active issues being recorded. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the building and its immediate surroundings between 2019 and 2022, these primarily involved parking issues, graffiti, and general service requests to public works, rather than building-specific problems. The property seems to be actively maintained, with prompt responses to safety concerns and regular updates to essential systems, particularly in the realm of fire safety.
