424 44th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 424 44th Avenue in the Outer Richmond district, owned by the Gee 1989 Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1960. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $100,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements as a Tier 3 property.

The building has had multiple routine housing inspections over the years, with a particularly concerning cluster of violations documented in June 2006 that included issues with fire safety systems such as fire escape ladders, fire extinguishers, fire proofing materials, and alarm panel certification - though all these violations were abated by June 20, 2006. Earlier records from 1998 indicate hazardous conditions including illegal wiring on the second floor and missing fire extinguishers, which were resolved by July 1998.

More recent issues have been relatively minor, with the most recent building-related complaints being temporary garbage and debris problems in October 2024, which were promptly addressed by Recology. The property underwent reroofing in 1990, and a street space permit was issued in 2019. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, particularly in relation to fire safety systems in 2006, all violations have been resolved, and the most significant structural retrofitting work has been completed.
