176 18th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story multi-family residential building at 176 18th Avenue, owned by Philip Gok Lieu, was constructed in 1960 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several maintenance updates over the years, including multiple aluminum window installations in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and more recent plumbing work including water heater replacement in 2017 and valve installation in 2009.

A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in April 2001, primarily related to fire safety concerns, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire proofing materials, and smoke detectors, all of which were abated by June 2001. The building has experienced recurring issues with exit blocking, as evidenced by multiple fire complaints between 2020 and 2024, though most were found to have "No Merit." A complaint in September 2021 regarding operating without a permit was referred to the Department of Building Inspection.

Recent activity includes a parking violation in April 2023. The property had routine inspections in 2001 and 2008, and while some complaints have been noted through 311 calls, many have been marked as resolved or with comments noted for follow-up. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, particularly regarding window replacements, though some plumbing permits have expired without clear evidence of completion.
