The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1319-1325 46th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, constructed in 1975 and currently owned by Sue L Hsia Living Revocable Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022, the building faced multiple violations requiring immediate attention, including heating system deficiencies, fire safety violations, and general safety concerns, which were all abated by November 2022. A concerning situation arose in May 2023 regarding improper handling of asbestos during construction work in Unit 204 and the parking garage, though this complaint was resolved by August 2023.

The building underwent mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2018 (Tier 3) at a cost of $30,000, following a previous withdrawn permit attempt in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements to the property include a comprehensive kitchen remodel completed in 2023 at a cost of $43,765, installation of dedicated heater circuits in 2022, and the installation of a new sub-panel in 2003, indicating ongoing electrical system upgrades. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing problems in 2011-2012 involving leaks and mold, and multiple instances of inadequate heating systems.

A fire safety violation was issued in 2019 for hazardous storage conditions. The property has also been subject to regular inspections and compliance checks, with the most recent routine housing inspection occurring in 2022. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing maintenance and violation issues, including tripping hazards, graffiti, and parking violations, though many of these cases have been resolved. The building's recent history shows a pattern of addressing major structural and safety concerns while continuing to manage various maintenance and compliance issues typical of older multi-family residential buildings.
