1221 Shafter Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1221 Shafter Avenue in Bayview, built in 1925, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years. Most notably, in February 2023, the property received a substantial electrical upgrade with the installation of a new 200-amp overhead service, complete with two 100-amp meters and new sub-panels. Additionally, in February 2011, plumbing work was completed involving houseline extensions.

The building has experienced some safety-related issues, including a blocked exit situation in October 2011 that was promptly corrected the same day. A concerning pattern of building maintenance issues emerged in late 2023, with multiple violations issued on October 12, 2023, regarding severely peeling paint that posed potential lead hazard concerns. These violations were officially abated by November 21, 2023, though there has been a recent reoccurrence of paint-related issues noted in January 2025. The property has a history of various maintenance concerns, including a significant complaint in April 2002 regarding the front door, exterior lighting, and potential fire safety issues related to an inaccessible fuse box, though these were resolved within a week.

Multiple 311 calls between January 2025 and December 2024 primarily concerned garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the property, with some cases involving homeless encampments and abandoned property. While these exterior maintenance issues have been addressed through various city departments, they indicate ongoing challenges with property upkeep. The building's permit history shows work performed in 1998 and 2001 related to grading and earthworks, though these permits have since expired. The property owner's name is recorded as Madison Roderick B, and the building's housing inventory fee appears to have been recently updated or verified in January 2025.
