274 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

274 26th Avenue is a two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by 1911 Ellis LLC and registered as a Tier 3 soft-story property with completed retrofit work per SFBC Chapter 34B. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past two decades, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2022-2023 that included the installation of low-frequency sounders and new fire panel equipment to comply with SF Fire Code requirements, with all associated electrical modifications now complete.

Previous major improvements include window replacements in 2020 (including 6 street-facing Pella Impervia windows), a reroofing project in 2003, and the completion of soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015. The building experienced a cluster of fire safety-related violations in 2008 (now all abated) that addressed various fire escape, alarm system, and smoke enclosure issues, plus concerns about gas meter instructions and shutoff tools.

More recent history includes a 2022 complaint regarding a window lock and mold issue, and a routine 2022 fire alarm system complaint that was promptly corrected within two weeks. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to both safety systems and general upkeep, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest data. External to the building's core systems, there have been occasional parking enforcement matters and infrastructure maintenance issues such as streetlights and sidewalk cleaning, which are typical for the neighborhood and have been resolved through the appropriate city departments.
