1316-1318 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1316-1318 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1974 and owned by Hatfield Investment Inc, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building underwent remediation work to address peeling paint and lead hazard concerns, with permits issued for both fiber cement lap siding installation and wood shingle replacement, with the latter work causing some resident complaints due to noise and sleep disruption from a large tarp.

The building has a documented pattern of maintenance and safety compliance issues, including historical violations in 2002 related to drainage pipes, laundry room ceiling repairs, and fire safety concerns regarding combustible materials and egress obstruction. Most recently, there is an active complaint from 2009 regarding overcrowding in a two-bedroom apartment that remains unresolved as of the latest records.

The property has undergone routine housing inspections over the years, with the most recent significant interventions occurring in 2023-2024 to address both interior surface conditions and exterior paint concerns. There have been multiple reports of parking-related issues near the property between 2023-2024, including several instances of vehicles parked on the sidewalk and blocking driveways, though most of these cases resulted in citations or were unable to be validated by responding officers. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various housing code compliance issues as they arise, with most violations being resolved through appropriate permits and work, though the persistence of the older overcrowding complaint suggests some ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
