1443 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1443 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by E S Baranoff Llc and constructed in 1925, has a documented history of maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past several decades. Most notably, in 2019, the ground floor underwent voluntary strengthening with the addition of steel moment frames and plywood shear walls, representing a significant structural improvement at a cost of $90,000.

The building has also seen various maintenance work including reroofing in 2018 and kitchen cabinet replacement in 1989. A serious cluster of fire safety and maintenance issues was documented in 2007, including concerns with fire proofing, combustible storage, water-damaged walls, and the need for stair repairs and handrails, all of which were subsequently addressed.

The building underwent multiple routine and follow-up inspections between 2001 and 2011, though some violations from 2001 related to fire safety (including fire extinguisher maintenance and egress obstruction) and lead paint concerns were noted and later abated. More recent events have been limited to routine maintenance, including responses to tree maintenance requests in 2023-2024 and occasional parking enforcement issues, with the most recent incident being a resolved complaint about a hanging tree limb in December 2024. The only recorded fire incident was a carbon monoxide detector activation with no actual CO presence, and there have been no reported civilian injuries associated with any building incidents.
