590-596 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 590-596 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Kenneth R. Dare and Gregory R. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2018 costing $10,000, removal and replacement of all components in 1997, and renovation of the brick facade in 1991 involving installation of plywood sheathing and stucco.

The building has faced multiple routine housing inspections, with records showing several violations related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with egress obstruction, combustible storage, gas meter instructions, exterior door self-closing devices, flue repairs, door repairs, and fire extinguisher requirements. These violations, filed between 2004 and 2015, were all eventually abated, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in December 2015. Recent maintenance activity has focused on addressing basic building systems and security requirements, as evidenced by the 2018 reroofing project.

The building experienced one recorded fire incident involving smoke odors, though no civilian injuries were reported. In terms of recent concerns, there have been multiple 311 calls between June 2024 and December 2024, primarily related to parking enforcement issues and garbage debris in the vicinity, though these external matters do not directly impact the building's safety or habitability. The most recent building-related complaints were resolved through standard enforcement channels, indicating active management of local regulations. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to building systems and prompt response to code violations when they occur, though the concentration of violations during the 2004-2015 period suggests there was a period requiring particular focus on building safety compliance.
