1730 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1730 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Dimayuga 2005 Trust and constructed in 1974, is currently undergoing substantial safety upgrades. As of April 2024, permits have been issued for the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building, including 61 sprinkler heads and a dedicated fire service line, with additional fire alarm monitoring work planned under a separate permit.

This follows a pattern of safety improvements, as the building previously received a new roof in 2014 and underwent some initial fire safety upgrades in 2002 with the installation of a pull station and bell system. The property has experienced several infrastructure-related challenges in 2024, particularly concerning construction work and its impact on public space, with multiple reports of blocked sidewalks due to construction equipment in September and October 2024. Recent plumbing work is also documented, with a permit issued in August 2024 for the installation of a new 2-inch water line.

While the building has maintained its residential designation, there were two separate attempts (in 2023 and previously) to change its use to a senior care facility, though both proposals were withdrawn or closed and did not proceed. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2020 and 2025, though these are outside the building's direct management scope and primarily concern street use. A minor fire incident involving an overheated motor was recorded in the fire database, though no civilian injuries were reported.
