283-287 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 7-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 283-287 4th Ave in the Inner Richmond district was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Raymond Goodwin & Kathy Ber. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work being emergency repairs to address an alarm system issue in late 2024.

In 2019, substantial maintenance was performed to address dry-rotted wood siding on the west side of the building, costing $21,000, while 2009 saw extensive interior upgrades including a complete ground floor unit rewire, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and HVAC system improvements including forced air furnace installation and water heater replacement. The building has experienced some safety-related incidents and violations, most notably a series of fire safety concerns documented in 2003-2004 including issues with smoke detectors, drainage pipes, electrical systems, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were resolved by January 2004.

More recent fire safety incidents include three false alarms and one gas leak incident, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Between 2024 and 2025, there has been a noticeable pattern of garbage and debris issues reported through 311 calls, particularly involving furniture and other items left near the property. The building has also had two documented parking meter damage incidents in late 2024, and street cleaning services have been required for various debris issues, though these are primarily related to exterior maintenance rather than building conditions themselves.
