225 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 225 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, built in 1913, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $55,000, bringing it into compliance with the San Francisco Building Code requirements for soft-story buildings.

Prior structural improvements include a reroofing project and stucco work completed in 1993. The building's maintenance history includes a series of violations and complaints in 2015-2016 that were addressed, including issues with fire safety systems (fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguishers), interior surfaces with lead paint concerns, and security requirements. The property has undergone several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with most violations being resolved by October 2016.

A notable fire safety concern was reported and corrected in May 2011 regarding combustible materials storage. Recent activity includes two 311 calls in 2019 and 2022 related to parking and sidewalk cleaning issues, which were resolved. The building's most recent major compliance item, the seismic retrofit program, was completed successfully, and the property currently holds a Certificate of Final Completion for its soft-story work, indicating full compliance with this important safety requirement.
