1-5 Anzavista Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1-5 Anzavista Avenue, owned by 6 Venado LLC, was constructed in 1949 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building completed mandatory upgrades to its fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has also completed its soft-story retrofit, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements.

In 2017-2019, there were substantial renovation efforts, including completed upgrades to Units 3 and 5, along with attempts to add a sixth unit in the basement, though this latter permit was ultimately cancelled. Infrastructure improvements have included a complete sewer line replacement in 2022 and comprehensive electrical system upgrades, including new meters and panels for all units completed in 2007. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to safety concerns, with past violations related to fire escape maintenance and smoke detectors in 2003, though these were all resolved within a month.

Recent activity (since late 2024) has predominantly involved external issues such as graffiti and debris management, with multiple reports of graffiti on the building's exterior and along nearby public spaces. These exterior maintenance matters have been mostly addressed through standard city responses. The property's historical records show regular safety inspections and necessary compliance work, indicating active management and response to regulatory requirements, including the recent fire system upgrades and seismic retrofitting which demonstrate commitment to current safety standards.
