625 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 625 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, constructed in 1968 and currently owned by 625 5th Ave LLC, has demonstrated both maintenance progress and regulatory compliance over recent decades. The most significant recent infrastructure improvement was completed in September 2023, involving comprehensive sewer system upgrades including replacement of defective clay piping with new cast iron piping, installation of a house trap, and a fresh air vent system.

The building has undergone several notable maintenance activities in the past, including reroofing and stucco repairs performed in 1995, and a fire extinguisher replacement in 1987, though the permits for the latter two are now expired. The property experienced a series of fire safety-related violations in October 2004, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by November 18, 2004. These violations included issues with smoke detectors, fire sprinklers, smoke enclosure door closers, combustible lint in dryer areas, and missing building identification numbers.

Since then, the building has maintained regulatory compliance, with routine safety inspections conducted in 1999, 2004, 2010, and 2015 showing no active violations. Recent 311 calls from 2022 to 2024 have primarily concerned parking issues, particularly instances of driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued to offending vehicles. The property has had minimal operational complaints in recent years, with no active building violations or complaints currently on file, suggesting responsible property management and regular maintenance of building systems and safety features.
