80 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 14-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 80 7th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, owned by Romel 2400vn LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1925. Most recently, in April 2024, substantial interior renovations were completed including kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom upgrades, and electrical work in Unit 12, at a cost of $42,000. The building has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2017 ($20,000), replacement fire alarm system ($28,950), and annual fire safety inspections showing consistent attention to fire safety maintenance.

A major renovation project completed in 2017 included the addition of two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) and associated infrastructure improvements. The building has experienced some maintenance issues that have required attention over the years. In 2023, there was a significant plumbing incident involving water backflow from a washer/dryer unit affecting multiple areas of the building. A cluster of violations was issued in November 2015 related to interior surfaces, structural maintenance, and safety systems, though these were all abated by April 2016.

The property successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion in 2016. Regular fire safety inspections have identified occasional issues such as blocked exits (2018), but these have been promptly addressed. Recent construction activity in April 2024 generated some neighbor complaints about work hours. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking issues near the property, these are external matters not directly related to building conditions.
