260-264 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 260-264 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Robert B Gerson & Marie Shi, with a total of three units. The most significant recent improvement was completed in 2016, when a ground-floor unit was added to the existing structure, including new kitchen facilities, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom, followed by comprehensive fire safety upgrades including a new sprinkler system with monitoring capabilities and dedicated underground fire service infrastructure.

These improvements were substantial, with costs totaling approximately $100,000 for the unit addition and fire safety systems, plus additional plumbing and electrical work. Prior to these major renovations, the building underwent various infrastructure improvements including comprehensive plumbing updates in 2012 for multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and utility systems installation, and electrical upgrades including installation of a new subpanel and extensive wiring work.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety systems and basic upkeep, with older records (2012-2013) showing installation of various utilities and responses to sidewalk issues. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external matters such as street cleaning and parking enforcement, with some historical sidewalk defect reports from 2012-2013 which were marked as resolved. The property appears to have undergone significant modernization in 2016, particularly regarding safety systems and unit configuration, with no recorded safety incidents or building code violations in recent years.
