670 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 670 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Gioacchino & Gilda B Cardin, was built in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most recent major work was completed in 2023, involving a comprehensive remodel of Unit 4's kitchen and bathroom ($40,000) with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades, and the installation of a new laundry area.

In 2015, the building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) to improve seismic safety, along with several unit renovations including a foundation improvement, ground floor kitchen relocation, bedroom addition, and bathroom updates in Units 4 and 5. Building maintenance records show historical attention to infrastructure, though there have been some resident concerns, including a 2018 water service outage complaint and a 1994 report of roof leaks affecting multiple locations.

The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with violations noted in 2000 and 2017 related to security, fire safety, and general maintenance requirements, all of which were subsequently addressed. Recent complaints have primarily concerned external issues, such as sidewalk parking and graffiti, rather than building infrastructure or safety concerns.
