551 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 551 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Tang Family Trust, was constructed in 1987 and encompasses three stories. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably in March 2023 when the fire alarm system was extensively modified at a cost of $8,664 to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements.

This included the installation of new sounders in sleeping areas, a wireless alarm communicator, and twelve low-frequency sounders. However, more recent fire safety issues have emerged, with violations recorded in October 2024 regarding building contact information and alarm system maintenance, though these violations had been abated by October 1, 2024. The building has a documented history of routine housing inspections in 2000, 2010, and 2015, none of which resulted in ongoing violations.

While there have been multiple 311 calls in the vicinity of the property between 2023 and 2024, these primarily relate to street cleaning, garbage removal, and parking enforcement issues rather than building-specific concerns. Three fire incidents have been recorded, all related to alarm system malfunctions or false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history includes stucco and window frame repairs from 1997, and a garage door opener installation in 2004, with no significant structural or safety concerns noted in recent years beyond the fire alarm system updates.
