590 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 12-unit apartment building at 590 4th Avenue in the Inner Richmond was constructed in 1964 and has experienced several significant safety-related events over the years. Most recently, there was a boiler permit violation reported in November 2023 that was resolved by December 2023.

The building has undergone multiple fire safety system upgrades since 2020, including several fire alarm replacements and modifications to low frequency sounders, with the most recent work completed in April 2022. A notable cluster of fire safety issues occurred between 2006 and 2021, including violations related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and fire escape maintenance, though records indicate most were promptly corrected. The property has experienced recurring boiler permit issues, with violations noted in 2010, 2013, and most recently in 2023, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining proper documentation and compliance.

Other maintenance history shows a bathroom remodel in Unit 201 (2015), garage door replacements (2010), and various routine safety inspections. The building has had minimal fire incidents, primarily consisting of alarm system activations and power-related occurrences, none resulting in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues outside the building, such as sidewalk cleaning and parking concerns, rather than internal building problems.
