679 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 679 48th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, built in 1960 and currently owned by the Marylyn L Saucer 1988 Trust, has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $52,600, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of damaged deck boards in 2024 ($3,000) and historical repairs to rear stairs in 2016 ($10,000).

The building has also seen important infrastructure upgrades, including a water main line replacement in 2019, sewer repair in 2012, and electrical system improvements in 2008 with a 200-amp meter and sub-panel relocation. The property has experienced some notable issues over its history, particularly regarding water management. In 2014, there was a significant incident involving water overflow from the parking lot and retaining wall that affected multiple properties, though this was addressed promptly.

Historical violations (now resolved) from 2006 included multiple building and fire safety concerns such as deck repairs, smoke enclosure door issues, and egress obstructions. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety systems, though there were some instances of combustible materials noted by fire inspectors in 2013 and 2014, which were promptly corrected. Recent 311 calls for the area primarily relate to external matters such as encampments and street maintenance, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations on record. The building's documented history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance with safety regulations, with no active violations or unresolved complaints as of 2023.
