245 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

245 9th Ave is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1967 and currently owned by Pablo Libedinsky Fmly Lvg R. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive electrical panel replacement project in August 2024 that involved upgrading all five units to Eaton panels and relocating them outside of closets. Prior to this, the building received an important fire safety upgrade in 2021 with the installation of a new fire alarm system featuring radio and low frequency sounders.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to roof upkeep with a reroofing project completed in 2007. The property has experienced some safety and maintenance challenges in the past, particularly highlighted by a cluster of violations in December 2016 during routine safety inspections. These violations included issues with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, damaged walls, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors, though all were subsequently resolved.

The building's record shows three documented sewer backup incidents through 2019, indicating a recurring plumbing issue that required attention on multiple occasions. Regular routine inspections of the building's common areas have been conducted in 2000, 2009, and 2016, suggesting ongoing oversight of the property's condition. While there have been several parking-related complaints near the property and one incident of sidewalk graffiti in 2014, the most pressing concerns appear to be the building's historical safety violations and sewer system issues, all of which have been officially marked as resolved in the records.
