1350-1352 33rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1350-1352 33rd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1946, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2014 as a Tier 3 soft-story property, which included foundation reinforcement, new rigid frames, and anchor sill bolting, representing a substantial investment in building safety. During the same period, there were additional repairs to address dry rot in the main entry foyer and stair area, as well as improvements to the concrete slab footing.

The building had previously faced several safety concerns in late 2001, when multiple fire safety violations were recorded including issues with smoke detectors, fire escape obstructions, and combustible storage. These violations were resolved by January 2002. A back porch collapse in 2003 led to further repairs, and there have been ongoing maintenance and safety updates, including a 1989 skylight replacement and rear stairway repairs in 2003.

Recent maintenance issues have included rodent/insect infestation reports in August 2024, while parking-related incidents have been frequent, with multiple cases of driveway blocking recorded between 2023-2024. The building's fire safety systems appear to be generally functioning, with only one recorded smoke detector activation due to malfunction. The property management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, completing the seismic retrofit and addressing past violations, though recent reports of rodent/insect problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's recent history shows regular interaction with city services primarily related to parking enforcement and street maintenance, indicating that while major building systems may be relatively stable, there are ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity.
