776 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

776 5th Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, containing 4 units and owned by the Wu Family Trust. Built in 1925, the property has undergone several significant improvements and addressed multiple safety concerns over the years. The most notable recent issue was a routine safety inspection in February 2016 that identified multiple violations, including necessary repairs to wooden stairs and the installation of carbon monoxide alarms.

These violations were promptly addressed and abated by March 2016, along with related repairs to the back wood stairs and supports completed in 2016. A substantial renovation was completed in 2013 for Unit #2, involving wall repair, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, window replacement, and comprehensive electrical upgrades including new receptacles, smoke and CO detectors, lighting, and ceiling fan installations, with a total cost of $18,000. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with footing upgrades completed in 2010 at a cost of $8,000, and the installation of necessary electrical grounding.

There have been two documented instances of combustible materials violations (2006 and 2012), both of which were promptly corrected. The property has maintained regular housing inspections since 1999, with all issues being addressed in a timely manner. While there have been multiple 311 calls in recent months (2024-2025), these primarily relate to external issues such as park services and street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. It's worth noting that the property has not experienced any tenant buyouts according to available records, and all documented building permits and violations have been resolved through appropriate channels.
