266 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, 8-unit apartment building at 266 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond district, owned by Mcguire Family Properties A, was constructed in 1972 and has undergone several significant renovations and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a comprehensive fire safety modernization program between 2022 and 2023, including the installation of new fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm system upgrades to comply with current codes, and related electrical and plumbing improvements.

In 2019, the property underwent substantial expansion work, adding three new dwelling units to the ground floor, followed by a seismic soft-story retrofit completed in 2017, bringing the building into compliance with mandatory seismic safety requirements. The building's recent history includes some maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in late 2022 when there were complaints regarding possible asbestos presence following retrofit work, and concerns about work being performed without proper containment or permits.

Historical records from 2002-2003 show several building code violations that were subsequently abated, primarily related to fire safety equipment and maintenance issues. The property has maintained regular routine inspections, with its most recent major improvements focusing on modernizing safety systems throughout the building. External to the building itself, there have been multiple recent reports (from late 2023 to 2024) regarding sidewalk cleanliness and tree maintenance issues, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance.
