275-277 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 275-277 7th Avenue property in the Inner Richmond district is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1992, currently owned by the Choy Family Trust-trust A. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including the installation of a sprinkler system in 1992, a complete reroofing project in 2018 costing $20,000, and a substantial kitchen renovation in 2014 that included cabinet replacement and LED lighting upgrades. However, the building has been facing some serious compliance issues since November 2015, with multiple active violations related to safety requirements, including missing fire extinguishers, non-compliance with structural maintenance requirements, and issues with carbon monoxide and smoke alarm affidavits.

The property has also seen some recent maintenance activity, with street space work permitted in 2019, though the permit shows an unusual cost of only $1.00. The building's recent history includes several 311 calls primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent complaints in 2024 regarding garbage and debris issues. There have also been reports of human or animal waste (April 2023), graffiti (October 2020), and other urban maintenance matters in the vicinity of the property.

While these exterior issues don't directly impact the building's internal conditions, they do reflect on the immediate neighborhood environment. The property's last recorded routine inspection was in 2009, which is now considered not active, while the 2015 routine inspection remains active with several unresolved compliance issues. The building underwent a vertical addition in 1986, prior to its current three-unit configuration becoming established in the early 1990s.
