1311 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

This 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located at 1311 48th Ave in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood was built in 1960 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 4) at a cost of $68,000, bringing it into compliance with current seismic safety standards.

Between 2000 and 2009, the building experienced multiple routine housing inspections that revealed several fire safety issues, including concerns with fire escape maintenance and smoke enclosure doors, all of which were subsequently resolved. The building's infrastructure has been maintained, with various permits showing work such as electrical upgrades for garage door operations in 2008, street space improvements in 2019, and historical compliance work in 1985. Recent maintenance and safety records show a mix of building-related issues, with the most concerning recent incident being a sewage backup discharge from a side vent in July 2024, which was promptly addressed.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2025 for vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. While the building has had its share of violations and complaints over the years, all identified safety issues have been addressed, and the recent completion of the soft-story retrofit demonstrates compliance with modern building safety requirements. The building's management appears to respond to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of all housing inspection citations and completion of required safety upgrades.
