585-591 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 585-591 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1921 and is currently owned by Leung Chee H & Evelyn Fam T. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including a complete reroofing project in October 2012 costing $32,000, and a water heater installation in June 2012, though this permit has since expired. In 1983, work was completed to bring the building into code compliance.

The property has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues over the years, with violations documented in August 2002 and July 2010. The 2002 routine inspection revealed problems including unserviceable fire extinguishers that required recharging and dating, as well as issues with fire escape drop ladders, though all these violations were abated by September 18, 2002. The July 2010 inspection similarly noted concerns about fire extinguisher accessibility and maintenance, though these violations were closed within a month.

More recently, the building has experienced four fire alarm activations between 2021 and 2022, though in all cases, no civilian injuries were reported and the causes were attributed to system malfunction or smoke scares. In early 2025, there have been numerous reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building, with multiple 311 calls reporting overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned waste. All of these recent incidents have been resolved, indicating responsive municipal cleanup services.
