Located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, 266 21st Avenue is a 3-story, 15-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Kukman23 LLC. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including the installation of five new ADUs in 2021 (valued at $385,000) and a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (costing $122,000) to comply with seismic safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, particularly notable in 2008 when complaints highlighted concerns about accessibility for elderly and disabled residents, though there have been no such complaints in recent years.

Recent fire safety compliance has been maintained, with the most recent fire safety inspections in September 2023 showing corrected conditions for alarm systems and extinguishers. The building has a history of various unit upgrades and maintenance work, including a 2019 structural revision and multiple cosmetic improvements to individual units between 2005-2010. The property has faced several challenges over the years, including multiple building complaints, some related to unauthorized unit conversions and common area modifications. Notable historical violations from 2002 included issues with fire safety systems and plumbing/electrical concerns, though these were abated by May 2002.

The building's management has addressed various maintenance issues, including a notable water outage in 2007 and multiple reports of garbage and debris outside the building in 2024. Recent planning and permit activity includes ongoing work as of October 2024 to revise the layout of studios #4 and #5 and modify a proposed lightwell. The building's fire alarm system has required periodic attention, with violations recorded in 2020 and 2021, though these were subsequently corrected. The property has maintained active compliance with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit program, achieving full completion and CFC issuance.
