279-283 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 279-283 26th Avenue, owned by the Cheng Family Living Trust, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant renovations and updates over the past decade. The most substantial recent work includes the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2015 ($9,000), complete with control units, smoke detectors, pull stations, and notification devices throughout the building.

Prior to this, major electrical work was completed in 2011 including the installation of main electrical services, subpanels, and approximately 250 outlets throughout the building. Multiple plumbing permits were issued and completed between 2013-2015, including the addition of gas lines, water lines, and a wet bar on the fourth floor. The property has experienced some construction-related issues, with two complaints filed in 2011-2012 regarding work beyond permitted scope and concerns about view blockage from a new addition, though these complaints were marked as "Not Active." Between 2015-2016, several street space permits were issued, possibly related to construction activities.

More recently, parking enforcement has been a recurring issue, with multiple citations issued in 2023 for vehicles blocking driveways, though these are unrelated to building safety or maintenance concerns. The most recent building-related activity was recorded between 2013-2015, with no significant building permits or complaints filed in the past eight years, suggesting that major renovations and system upgrades have been completed. This summary is based on available building records up to October 2023, which show a history of systematic upgrades to fire safety systems, electrical infrastructure, and plumbing throughout the building, with no recent building code violations or safety concerns on record.
