1473 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1473 48th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, owned by Kamil M Al-shamma Tr, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1963. Most notably, the property has completed two recent window replacement projects (2023-2024) involving 14 windows and the installation of James Hardie siding at a combined cost of $60,000.

The building has prioritized safety upgrades, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 as part of San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements, and more recently upgrading the fire alarm system in 2022-2024 to include low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and compatible devices with a cost of $18,600 plus additional electrical work. The building's history reveals some concerning incidents, particularly in 2009 when multiple housing code violations were documented, including mold issues and a sewage backup damaging apartment flooring, though these violations were all resolved by December 2009.

There was also a gas service routing issue through the footing reported in 2018 that was subsequently addressed. Recent years have shown fewer internal building issues, though there have been multiple parking-related incidents outside the building in 2023-2024, including several blocked driveways that resulted in citations. The property has maintained active compliance with major city regulations, as evidenced by its completed soft-story retrofit (Tier 4) and the ongoing commitment to modernize key building systems such as windows and fire safety equipment.
