1525 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1525 9th Ave in the Inner Sunset, owned by Thomas and Paula Pui Fong Yee, was constructed in 1952 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its history. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received a $30,300 reroofing project, while in 2012, comprehensive plumbing upgrades were completed, including copper repiping for all bathrooms and kitchens.

The building experienced a fire incident in 1999 that affected the garage area, leading to subsequent issues with utilities and necessitating multiple repairs. A major renovation was undertaken in 1999 to convert a storage room into unit two, and in 2000, the building underwent significant improvements including the installation of a fire sprinkler system and various safety upgrades. The property has had three routine housing inspections (2010, 2002, and 2000) and several repairs addressing specific issues, including dryrot repairs and window replacements in 2018.

A cluster of building violations was documented in late 2000, including issues with plumbing, security, fire safety systems, and building maintenance, though all were abated by January 2001. More recently, there has been a pattern of parking-related issues near the property, with multiple citations issued between November 2024 and January 2025 for driveway blocking. The building's infrastructure has seen significant upgrades over the years, including an underground electrical service conversion in 2004, though some maintenance issues have persisted, as evidenced by tenant complaints about water pressure and window drafts in 2000, and heat and hot water issues in 1999.
