778 41st Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 778 41st Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Beverly T Lund, is a two-story structure built in 1929. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), mandatory fire alarm system upgrades in 2021/2024, and water service repairs in 2017.

In July 2022, the building's siding was replaced between properties as part of a Notice of Violation requirement, and previous major work included reroofing projects in 2015 ($19,000) and 1989, window installations in 1985, and foundation bolting in 1994. The property has experienced some concerning incidents, most notably a fire in November 2020 that caused approximately 100 square feet of structural damage at the southwest corner of the building, though this was subsequently addressed.

There were multiple building violations in 2003 related to ventilation issues that were resolved, and a current active complaint from March 2023 regarding unauthorized construction in unit 4 with reported chemical smells and dust. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to major systems, including electrical upgrades (such as the installation of UFER ground in 2018), though the property did have some initial compliance challenges with the fire alarm system replacement, as noted in the 2021 permit stating it did not comply with current building fire codes or NFPA 72 standards.
