415 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story multi-family residential building at 415 7th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district was constructed in 1980 and contains four units, currently owned by the Paul & Elan Quan Family Trust. Significant recent improvements include the legalization of a ground-floor unit in 2017 (completed at a cost of $45,000), which included new kitchen and bathroom installations, electrical work, and HVAC modifications. This project was accompanied by various plumbing and electrical permits, indicating substantial renovation work.

The building has a history of addressing safety and code compliance issues, as evidenced by a 2015 routine inspection that resulted in multiple violations related to fire safety, including requirements for automatic sprinklers, smoke enclosure doors, and various electrical concerns. These violations were officially abated by March 2016. The property underwent significant modifications in the late 1980s, including a code compliance project that involved kitchen removal, and had a reroofing project in 1998, though that permit expired.

Historical planning records show the property was originally developed as a four-unit building with two stories over garage space, and there was a disapproved variance request related to its construction. Recent maintenance and service records from 2018-2022 show various typical urban issues in the vicinity, including sidewalk maintenance needs, parking enforcement matters, and street cleaning requests, though these external factors do not directly impact the building's internal conditions or compliance status. The most recent building-related service calls primarily involved general street maintenance and parking enforcement, with one open case regarding a collapsed sidewalk from 2021, though specific building-related violations or complaints appear to have been resolved as of March 2016.
