240 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 240 26th Avenue, built in 1972 and owned by the Lin/Liu Family Trust B, has undergone significant renovations and faced certain regulatory challenges over its history. The most substantial improvement work occurred between 2017 and 2018, focusing on second-floor modifications including the addition of a laundry room and bathroom, kitchen alterations, and related mechanical systems upgrades with a total investment of approximately $35,500.

This renovation project encompassed comprehensive plumbing and electrical work, including the installation of new fixtures, appliances, and safety equipment like smoke detectors. The building faced several fire safety and utility compliance issues in August 2008, which were all resolved within approximately one month.

These violations, stemming from a routine inspection, included concerns about combustible storage, fire sprinkler requirements, smoke enclosure doors, and gas utility shutoff tools - all of which were officially abated by September 4, 2008. The property has had some recent tenant complaints regarding tobacco use in 2021 and 2022, though these were determined to be within legally permitted boundaries according to San Francisco Health Code provisions. The most recent property activity includes typical urban maintenance issues, with resolved cases for garbage and debris (June 2024) and illegal parking (August 2023), as well as some historical reports of abandoned vehicles in 2014 and 2012.
