405 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 22-unit multi-family residential building at 405 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Lee & Louie Living Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past decades. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received a $59,500 complete reroofing project, following a 2023 fire system replacement to meet current safety codes at a cost of $31,250. The property has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades to critical systems, including multiple boiler replacements (most recently in 2020), backflow replacement in 2019, and sewer lateral replacement in 2017.

A concerning pattern of issues emerged in early 2024, with complaints about sagging floors, water damage, and facade leaks recorded in January 2024, though these complaints are marked as not active. The building has a history of both routine inspections and code enforcement actions, with the most notable cluster of violations occurring in 2017, when multiple fire safety and security issues were identified, including problems with fire proofing materials, carbon monoxide detectors, and security locks. These violations were abated by May 2017.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety violations, with specific issues recorded in 2022 regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems and exit maintenance. Two fire incidents have been recorded at the address, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. Recent maintenance work demonstrates ongoing investment in building systems, including electrical upgrades and plumbing improvements, with the electrical service upgraded to 400 amps in 2011 and comprehensive first-floor renovations completed in 2011-2014.
