407 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 407 14th Avenue, owned by Poon Tak Ming, was constructed in 1924 in the Central Richmond neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with substantial renovations occurring between 2009-2010 that included the addition of a new exercise room, half bathroom, and community room, along with comprehensive safety upgrades including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system and replacement of gas furnaces.

These improvements were followed by more recent maintenance in 2019, which saw the replacement of a vinyl window at the rear with a Fibrex window. The building's history includes several fire safety-related violations from June 2002, including issues with combustible storage, fire extinguisher maintenance, and security requirements, though all of these violations were abated by July 17, 2002.

An illegal unit complaint was filed in January 2014, which is no longer active. Recent incidents near the property have been primarily street-level issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between November 2024 and January 2025, including reports of graffiti, lighting issues, and sanitation concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The only recorded fire incidents were two minor events with no injuries or significant damage: a smoke detector activation and an electrical wiring/equipment problem, neither of which resulted in actual fires.
