476 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 476 7th Avenue, owned by the Lily Wong Lau Survivors Trust, was constructed in 1971 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a substantial reroofing project costing $59,850, marking the second roof replacement since records began, following an earlier $6,000 reroofing work in 2000.

In 2020, the building was made more accessible with the installation of a chair lift between the first and second floors, and the replacement of a 100-gallon water heater was completed that same year. The building has undergone three routine housing inspections (2001, 2009, and 2015), with the 2015 inspection revealing several issues that were subsequently addressed, including concerns about smoke enclosure doors, structural maintenance requirements, fire escape drop ladders, and the need for updated carbon monoxide and smoke alarms. A notable safety violation occurred in December 2009 regarding a garage exit door lock that was improperly modified, though this was resolved by January 2010.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both structural and safety concerns, with most issues being promptly addressed. A recent 311 call from September 2024 regarding garbage and debris was resolved by Recology and does not indicate any ongoing maintenance or safety concerns. The property has only one active type of permit on record (the completed reroofing from 2024), and all major systems such as the roof and heating (water heater) have been recently updated or replaced.
