1612 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1612 48th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, owned by Lawmor LLC, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 at a cost of $73,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Electrical system improvements were made in 2020 with a "like for like + 2021 upgrade" installation.

The building has faced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with dry rot, documented in multiple repairs in 1991 including treatment around the front fire escape and various building areas. Three instances of blocked fire escapes were reported in 2019 (two resolved as duplicate complaints) and 2007, while the building underwent reroofing in 2003. The property has experienced ongoing challenges with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citation resolutions recorded between 2020 and 2024.

The most recent issues include three driveway blocking incidents in 2024, one of which was marked as "Invalid" due to incomplete reporting information. An open curb defect complaint from November 2023 is currently pending resolution. The building's fire safety systems have required attention, as evidenced by the 2019 fire escape complaints, though investigation showed conditions were corrected in one case. Historical records show the building has experienced typical urban maintenance issues while meeting mandatory safety compliance requirements over the years.
