1281-1283 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110
The property at 1281-1283 South Van Ness Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1906 and currently owned by Li Jie-yi. The building has a documented history of fire alarm system issues, with seven alarm-related complaints recorded between 2005 and 2018, most of which were resolved with violations being issued or conditions corrected.
Multiple false alarms due to system malfunctions were recorded, as well as one malicious false alarm incident, though no civilian injuries were reported in any fire-related incidents. Recent activity around the building (from late 2024 to early 2025) primarily involves street maintenance issues, with several reports of graffiti on public signal boxes, garbage, and debris problems, most of which were promptly addressed and resolved by city services.
Historical permit records show limited activity, with permissions granted for sidewalk modifications in 2003 and 2007, and an expired permit for bathroom renovations in 1999. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and public space maintenance, as evidenced by the frequency of 311 calls in recent months, though these issues appear to be more related to the surrounding neighborhood rather than the building itself.
