320 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 320 6th Ave in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Bresler Family Trust, was constructed in 1955 and has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building is currently listed as non-compliant with the Mandatory Soft Story Program, having been identified in 2017 but only obtaining permits for retrofitting in late 2019, with work continuing into 2022. While some seismic improvements were completed, including a 2022 permit modification and electrical service upgrade from 100A to 200A in 2019, the building remains under active violation status for soft story compliance.

A recent 2023 complaint regarding unpermitted construction work was promptly resolved, and routine safety inspections have occurred periodically. The building's maintenance history includes a 2008 reroofing project, though several administrative permits were obtained in 2018 to establish legal use and occupancy as a 3-story structure with five dwelling units and a ground-floor commercial space. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, including plumbing violations in 2006 related to a water heater pressure relief valve, which was abated within weeks, and a series of garbage and debris complaints in 2024 and 2023, all of which were resolved.

Recent sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal efforts have been documented through 311 calls, with the most recent graffiti incident occurring in 2023. While there have been two fire alarm incidents recorded (both attributed to system malfunctions), there were no civilian injuries reported in either case. The building's most pressing current issue appears to be the outstanding soft story compliance, which has resulted in active violations and monthly monitoring fees. However, it's worth noting that many of the property's permit applications and repair projects suggest ongoing efforts by management to address various building requirements and improvements over time.
