486 40th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 486 40th Ave in the Outer Richmond, owned by William Luu & Fei Ha Wong R, was constructed in 1977. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, including a complete window replacement project in 2024 costing $30,000, reroofing work in 2014 ($15,000), and a previous roofing project in 2003.

The building experienced substantial fire safety violations in March 2003, with multiple issues identified including problems with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire escape equipment, and combustible storage, all of which were abated by May 20, 2003. More recently, in August 2024, there were complaints regarding construction-related issues, including debris and dust from window cladding work, though these complaints were marked as not active shortly after being filed. The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, as evidenced by the timely resolution of the 2003 fire violations.

Recent improvements, particularly the new windows installed in 2024, demonstrate ongoing maintenance efforts by the property owners. The building's location has experienced occasional external issues as documented in 311 calls, including parking concerns and reports of noise, but these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. Historical planning records confirm the original development of the 7-unit building with off-street parking spaces, and the recent window replacement project with stucco repairs has received proper permits and approvals.
