1456-1458 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1456-1458 8th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant modifications and experienced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, there are active concerns as of 2024 regarding an unauthorized dormer addition on the south pitch roof, with a current violation notice issued in January 2024 (Complaint #202418014).

The property was previously involved in multiple renovation projects between 2012-2017, including extensive plumbing and electrical work throughout all floors, with multiple permits showing bathroom and kitchen remodels, wiring upgrades, and the addition of a third unit (1456A) on the ground floor behind the garage. These improvements were marred by several instances of work being performed without proper permits, as documented in complaints from 2012-2015. Historical records from 2002 show significant maintenance issues that were addressed, including rodent infestation, plumbing problems, electrical maintenance needs, and safety concerns related to stairs and handrails.

More recent concerns from 2021-2024 include reports of bed bug infestation (July 2021), various parking enforcement issues, and general maintenance complaints. The building's history shows a pattern of construction "scope creep" and permit compliance challenges, with numerous expired permits for plumbing and electrical work requiring re-application for final inspections between 2012-2015. While many of these issues have been resolved, the most pressing concern appears to be the recent violation regarding the unauthorized dormer modification.
