1355 47th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1355 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Abelardo R. and Gorospe, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance projects over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2019 at a cost of $60,000, following a violation notice filed in December 2018 for failure to initiate the required seismic improvements.

The property experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, including a cluster of building violations filed in November 2021 related to lead paint hazards, building access for inspections, and general maintenance requirements, all of which were abated by March 2022. These violations stemmed from concerns about peeling paint affecting neighboring properties and the street. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing needs, with reroofing projects completed in 1988, 1999, 2015 (cancelled), and 2019, along with electrical upgrades including the installation of 5 sub panels in 2006.

Structural improvements were also made in 2019, including revisions to the front framing and foundation anchoring. Earlier repair work addressed dryrot issues in 2008, and the building was subject to a routine inspection in 2002. While all recent building and safety violations have been resolved, the property's history shows a pattern of requiring attention to both structural, seismic, and cosmetic maintenance issues, particularly concerning paint and its associated hazards. The most recent work completed includes the soft-story retrofit and structural revisions, demonstrating compliance with current seismic safety requirements.
