1391-1393 39th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1391-1393 39th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, containing 4 units plus commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being the completion of accessibility improvements in September 2023 to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance program. Earlier renovations included the replacement of four street-facing windows in 2016 and a substantial 2001 project that legalized five skylights on the second floor, a garage roof deck, and rebuilt stairs for required egress.

The building experienced a cluster of violations in 2000 related to various issues including window repairs, lead paint hazards, egress obstructions, smoke detector problems, and plumbing violations, all of which were addressed by October 2002. The property has maintained a generally good safety record since the violation remediation in 2002. Fire safety inspections in 2020-2023 related to Shared Spaces and Operating Without A Permit resulted in no merit findings.

Historical fire safety violations from 2006 regarding extinguishers, exit signs, and sprinkler system service were corrected. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine municipal services, though there are some open noise complaints from August 2024 and multiple parking-related enforcement requests. The building's ownership structure has seen tenant activity, with a reported buyout at 3426 Judah Street in May 2023 involving two tenants, though no buyouts have been recorded specifically for the 39th Avenue addresses. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance through various permit applications, including recent work to maintain its street-facing appearance and accessibility compliance.
