276 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story apartment building at 276 3rd Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Solaris Llc, contains 13 residential units and was constructed in 1925. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including the completion of a mandatory Soft Story seismic retrofit in 2017 and multiple fire alarm system improvements between 2011 and 2019.

In 2019, there were efforts to legalize additional dwelling units (ADUs) at the ground level behind the garage, with permits filed for this work currently listed as "Under Review." The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple complaints regarding alarm systems, blocked exits, and combustible materials between 2015 and 2023, though all these issues were noted as "Condition Corrected." In 2003, there was a cluster of building violations related to fire safety and maintenance, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape ladders, and ceiling repairs, which were all addressed by May 2004. More recently, the building experienced two significant violations in March 2019 related to fire safety systems, both of which were resolved by May 2019.

Other maintenance work has included a roof replacement in 2000, staircase repairs, and a heating system update in 2018. The property owner has addressed various building maintenance issues over the years, though several 311 calls regarding parking violations and abandoned vehicles occurred in the vicinity between 2014 and 2020, suggesting occasional challenges with street parking in the area.
