550 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 550 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond district, owned by Elaine Yee, was constructed in 1971 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history. Most notably, the building had a substantial reroofing project completed in March 2024 at a cost of $44,680, marking the third roof replacement in the building's history following a previous reroofing completed in 1991.

The property experienced multiple serious violations in 2002, including issues with fire safety (such as smoke detector installation, smoke enclosure door maintenance, and egress obstruction), interior surface conditions (including lead paint concerns), sanitation, and gas utility safety, though all these violations were ultimately abated by March 2017. The building's most recent significant incident occurred in early 2017 when it was designated as a nuisance property under section 1001-d of the San Francisco Housing Code, with violation warnings issued that same month.

This followed a pattern of unresolved garage-related issues, with complaints in 2013 and 2017 regarding a malfunctioning garage door that opened and closed by itself. Earlier complaints from 2002 noted problems with doorbells, backyard maintenance, and general upkeep, though these were all resolved. The property has maintained roof integrity throughout its history with regular updates, and all documented violations have been addressed, suggesting improved compliance with housing codes in recent years.
