371-373 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Seto Family Trust owns this two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located at 371-373 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1900, this property underwent significant renovations in 2008-2009, including a $50,000 remodel addressing fire damage, improvements to the rear building, and the complete remodeling of two kitchens and bathrooms with a combined cost of $55,016. The renovation work also encompassed window replacements, installation of new heating mechanicals, and electrical upgrades including three separate 100-amp services and numerous lighting and receptacle installations.

A sewer repair was completed in January 2022. The building has a history of maintenance issues that have generally been addressed over time. In 2005-2007, there were multiple violations including broken windows, blocked entrances, and ventilation issues, all of which were eventually abated. Between 1999 and 2009, there were several complaints about an abandoned cottage, debris, and safety concerns, with the most notable being a 1999 complaint about a problematic rear cottage that was closed in 1999.

Recent activity at the property includes three garbage and debris complaints in December 2024, all of which were resolved. There have been recurring issues with graffiti, particularly between 2020-2024, with the most recent incidents occurring in July 2023. Two fire complaints were filed in 2007 and 2009, but both were found to have no merit. The property has undergone multiple improvements and repairs over the years, with the most significant work occurring in 2008-2009 when major systems and living spaces were upgraded.
