418 25th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 418 25th Ave in Central Richmond, owned by S Lew Family LLC and constructed in 1962, has undergone several significant upgrades to enhance safety and comply with current regulations. Most recently, in March 2023, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade costing $15,600 to meet San Francisco Fire Code requirements, followed by a related electrical panel upgrade project in December 2024 that involves replacing seven electrical panels from Federal Pacific to Square D panels.

The building previously completed important safety improvements including a soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3, cost $40,000) and an earlier fire alarm system modification in 2023 that included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet fire code requirements. The building's safety record shows minimal violations, with only four fire-related and gas shutoff tool issues documented in 2001, all of which were promptly abated within one month. Recent complaints have been resolved, including a routine housing inspection in late 2001 and a construction-related noise complaint in December 2024 that was addressed within a week.

There were also two street cleaning issues in January 2021, which were promptly resolved by Recology. The most recent fire alarm system complaint from November 2024 was marked as "Condition Corrected," indicating responsive management of safety concerns. Overall, the building's maintenance record demonstrates consistent attention to safety upgrades and prompt resolution of issues as they arise, with no active violations or pending complaints.
