253-255 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, 253-255 5th Avenue is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Fuzzy Nuggets LLC. The property has undergone significant maintenance and improvement work in recent years, with the most recent activity in 2024 involving revisions to add concrete stairs and a wood deck to the rear, and substantial window and exterior repairs costing $40,000.

Throughout 2023-2024, multiple permits were issued for essential maintenance work, including reroofing ($16,300), repairs to address dry rot in siding and trim, and window updates ($10,000). The building received substantial interior upgrades in mid-2023, including remodeling of two bathrooms, laundry facilities, two kitchens, new gas lines, water heaters, and underground sewer work, along with electrical panel updates and plumbing improvements. The property has a history of compliance issues, with significant violations noted in January 2016 regarding egress obstruction and smoke/CO alarm compliance, though these were promptly abated within a month.

Previous building inspections occurred regularly in 1999, 2004, and 2010, and while there were some tenant complaints about egress access and maintenance issues in 2015-2016, these have all been resolved. Recent building improvements demonstrate active maintenance of the property's infrastructure, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and history of minor maintenance issues. The property has maintained compliance with most building standards since the 2016 violations were addressed, with no active violations on record as of October 2023.
