647 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, seven-unit apartment building at 647 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Delfino Frances, was constructed in 1953 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2019 (with an earlier permit from 2017), bringing the structure into compliance with seismic safety requirements, and received a new roof in 2018 at a cost of $11,000.

The building's safety and maintenance history reveals a cluster of fire safety violations in 2002, including issues with combustible storage, fire escape maintenance, and self-closing doors, though all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by June 2002. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway parking violations, with nine documented incidents between November 2023 and January 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with access to the building. Recent activity includes three parking enforcement calls in late 2024 and two in early 2024, with one citation issued in March 2024.

Other recent service calls include a general public works request in November 2024 and a cleaning issue in November 2023, both of which were resolved. The building's maintenance record indicates active management attention, particularly regarding structural safety and fire compliance, with all major historical violations having been resolved. The most recent documented building-related activities primarily concern external parking issues rather than internal building conditions.
