1485-1487 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1485-1487 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by the Seto Family Trust and was constructed in 1908. The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the years, with the most substantial work taking place between 2005-2012. A major renovation in 2005 ($200,000) included vertical and horizontal additions and room rearrangements, followed by comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2007 that added new kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, and electrical systems.

The property has also been environmentally upgraded with the installation of a solar panel system in 2012, consisting of 6 roof-mounted PV modules. More recent improvements include the addition of an automatic garage door opener in 2007, and more electrical upgrades in 2012 with the installation of a 30-amp subpanel. The building's maintenance history shows one significant fire safety issue in 2010 involving blocked exits, which was promptly corrected on the same day it was reported.

Currently, there are multiple recent sanitation-related concerns, with eight reports of overflowing city garbage cans between January 5-14, 2025, though these are primarily municipal service issues rather than building-specific problems. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, with proper permits obtained for all major modifications, and no recent building complaints or violations are currently on record. The building's systems have been regularly updated, including plumbing upgrades (new kitchens and bathrooms), comprehensive electrical system improvements, and safety features like smoke detectors and garaged door automation, indicating proactive maintenance by the property owners.
