480 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Klein Family Trust owns this 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 480 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond district, constructed in 1971. The property underwent significant renovations in 2006, including the installation of 17 vinyl windows and 3 vinyl doors, all adhering to modern energy efficiency standards with double-pane construction and a U-factor of .30. Historical records show a re-roofing project was completed in 1988.

A notable cluster of violations was recorded in November 2001, primarily related to fire safety concerns, including issues with fire escape drop ladders, fire proofing, egress obstructions, and the need for a smoke detector at the stairs. Additionally, there were violations related to plumbing, electrical systems, and gas utility shutoff tools. All these violations were resolved and officially abated by December 19, 2001.

Since the 2001 violations, there have been routine housing inspections in 2010, which returned no significant findings on record. The building's recent history includes several external incidents typical for the neighborhood, such as a sidewalk defect in 2012 (which was promptly repaired), illegal postings in 2018, an unauthorized parking incident in 2019, and a report of human or animal waste in 2020, all of which were resolved through appropriate municipal channels. While the building had several fire safety violations in 2001, it's worth noting that these issues were addressed within approximately six weeks of being cited, and there have been no reported fire safety violations in the past 22 years.
