1538 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122
The two-story multi-family residential building at 1538 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a four-unit apartment building owned by Terence and Annamarie McMahon, constructed in 1975. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably in late 2024 when the electrical system was substantially upgraded, including a complete 200-amp service replacement and the removal of outdated Federal Pacific panels from all units, with new Cutler Hammer panels installed across the building. This follows a series of unit-specific renovations during 2018-2024, including a $25,000 window replacement project in March 2024, a bathroom remodel in Unit 1 ($14,000) in September 2023, and substantial renovations to Unit 4's kitchen and bathroom completed in December 2018 (totaling over $42,000).
The building has maintained good compliance with housing regulations, with only one routine inspection in 2002 showing no outstanding issues. The property has experienced several infrastructure maintenance matters over recent years, particularly regarding street conditions and parking concerns. There have been multiple reports of pavement defects near the property, with the most recent issues reported in March 2024 still showing as open.
Parking-related incidents have been relatively frequent, with several enforcement actions taken for sidewalk parking and blocked driveways between 2021 and 2024, though responses from parking enforcement have varied in their ability to resolve the violations. Street maintenance issues have also been noted, with multiple cases of garbage and debris reported in late 2024, including furniture and tires, though these were resolved through appropriate channels. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems and living spaces, with particular attention paid to modernizing electrical infrastructure and improving individual unit amenities.
