1319-1321 47th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1319-1321 47th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912. The building underwent significant unauthorized modifications around 2000-2001, during which time it was converted into a residential hotel with multiple guest rooms, bathrooms, and a community kitchen, contrary to its permitted two-family dwelling unit status. This prompted a series of housing violations including unauthorized room partitions, unapproved plumbing and electrical systems, hazardous wiring, and lack of proper egress systems, with some violations remaining active until 2012.

The property has a documented history of safety concerns, particularly regarding fire safety, electrical systems, and general maintenance issues, with multiple complaints about inadequate fire egress, non-functioning smoke detectors, and exposed electrical wires. Permitting records show that the owner took corrective action in 2000-2002 to revert the building back to its original two-unit configuration, completing work valued at $30,000 to legalize the two dwelling units. More recent maintenance includes a completed reroofing project in 2010 costing $7,500.

The property has generated numerous parking-related complaints between 2021 and 2024, particularly regarding blocked driveways, though most of these cases were resolved without direct enforcement action. There have also been recent reports of garbage issues, illegal parking, and toters being left out continuously. Planning records indicate an approved variance for off-street parking, and a closed case regarding illegal construction without permit, suggesting that the property's compliance status was eventually resolved.
