1415 31st Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1415 31st Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, built in 1963 and containing 6 units plus commercial space, has undergone several notable modifications and has some current issues requiring attention. The property, currently owned by David Birenbaum Trustee, previously operated as a grocery store with an insurance office and coffee service, with improvements made in 2005 including electrical upgrades and window replacements.

While the building's most significant works were completed in 2008 with the installation of energy-efficient windows and in 2005 with various structural and electrical improvements, there are recent concerns documented in 2024-2025 that merit attention. These include multiple 311 calls regarding tree damage, overgrowth, and garbage issues in the vicinity, as well as an active code enforcement case filed in August 2023 concerning the vacant commercial space. Historical records show a fire safety violation in 2001 regarding the fire escape ladder, which was resolved within a month.

The building has experienced some fire-related incidents, including false alarms and a minor outdoor rubbish fire, though none resulted in civilian injuries. While routine maintenance appears to have been generally addressed over the years, the most recent functionality of the commercial space, documented as vacant and requiring code enforcement attention, could potentially impact building security and maintenance systems. The property's utility upgrades from 2005-2008 indicate an investment in modernizing the building's systems, though the age of these improvements should be noted.
