247-249 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit residential building at 247-249 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Thomas J & Robin G Oconnor, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in 2011 ($16,000), installation of 25 replacement windows in 2004 ($14,372), repair and replacement of rear stairs due to dry rot in 2002, and major plumbing upgrades in 2019 including a sewer system replacement and water main upgrades.

The building has also seen improvements to its interior amenities, such as the installation of a direct vent gas fireplace in 2019. The property's most concerning period came in 2002 when it faced multiple building violations during a routine inspection, primarily related to fire safety and structural maintenance issues, including problems with the fire escape drop ladder, stairs, and security features. However, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by November 2002.

The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in subsequent years (1998, 2009, 2015), with no ongoing violations recorded. Recent activities around the property have primarily involved parking enforcement matters, with multiple calls in 2022-2025 regarding illegal parking, and one encampment report in 2023 which was resolved according to a federal court order. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to both safety and comfort issues, with no active violations or urgent maintenance needs on record as of October 2023.
