1300-1302 39th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1300-1302 39th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Kirby Chung and Cynthia Gaw. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2022 costing $11,500. In 2010, substantial renovations were performed including the addition of one bedroom, a full bath, and a family room on the ground floor, along with window replacements, electrical work (installation of lights, switches, receptacles, and smoke detectors), and HVAC improvements involving furnace relocation and duct work, totaling $36,000.

The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues requiring attention, particularly in late 2022 when multiple violations were documented including problems with carbon monoxide and smoke alarm documentation, a toilet repair issue, and an egress obstruction. These violations were all abated by January 2023. Prior to this, in 2009, there were concerns about mold/mildew and lead paint hazards, which were also addressed.

Historical records from the 1990s show various maintenance work, including reroofing and repairs to a staircase in the lightwell, along with multiple plumbing and electrical improvements. The property has had consistent attention to basic maintenance needs, as evidenced by regular roof work and system upgrades, though some past issues with dry rot (2009) and interior surface concerns (2009 and 2022) have required remediation. Recent 311 calls from the surrounding area primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues typical of urban environments, such as sidewalk cleaning and abandoned vehicles, rather than specific building-related concerns.
