221 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Marks Family Survivor's Trust owns this three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 221 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, built in 1915. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decades, with the most recent being a complete re-roofing project completed in 2024 costing $39,300. Of particular note is the successful completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 valued at $100,000, which has received its Certificate of Final Completion.

The building has undergone important infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of a new steam heating boiler and domestic water heater in 2017, replacement of the building sewer and house trap from clay to cast iron in 2014, and the addition of a common laundry room in 2017. Historical records indicate several maintenance and safety issues that have been addressed, including the replacement of dry rot stair stringers in the alleyway in 2017 and various plumbing system updates, such as backflow device replacement in 2023. The building experienced a cluster of violations in 2002 related to fire safety, building maintenance, and sanitation, but these were all abated by February 2016.

More recent routine inspections and complaints have primarily concerned boiler permit renewals, with the most recent boiler work completed in 2023. Two 311 calls regarding general cleaning were logged in May 2023, and there were noise complaints related to garbage collection in early 2020, likely due to pandemic-related scheduling adjustments. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure and safety requirements, particularly regarding fire safety systems and plumbing maintenance. All known violations have been resolved, and the building appears to be actively maintaining compliance with current safety and building standards.
