409 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 409 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by John P. & Sarah N. Healy, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years.

Most recently, a fire alarm system replacement was filed in November 2024 to comply with California/San Francisco fire marshal codes, including the installation of low-frequency horns in units. The building has seen consistent attention to its infrastructure, including a complete window replacement project in 2013 (installing eight energy-efficient vinyl Simonton windows) and two roofing projects, one completed in 2016 costing $13,750, and another from 1989. A notable incident occurred in 2016 when a tenant reported multiple issues including improper carpet replacement per lease, a loud entry system buzzer, and mold in bathroom and kitchen areas, though this complaint is now listed as inactive.

The building underwent a routine housing inspection in 2004 that revealed multiple fire safety concerns, including egress obstructions and fire escape ladder maintenance issues, though all violations were abated by June 2004. Recent fire alarm system maintenance was performed in April 2024, and there have been two minor fire-related incidents recorded (a good intent call and a lock-out situation), neither resulting in injuries. The property has also experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2019-2024, though these are external to the building itself. Regular sidewalk cleaning and garbage collection issues have been recorded and resolved through standard city services.
