760-766 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 760-766 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Mayer Saket Khou Trust, was constructed in 1890 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (construction cost $40,000) as part of San Francisco's seismic safety initiatives, with all required inspections and permits now closed. Between 2006 and 2008, the property underwent substantial unit renovations including electrical upgrades across all units (replacing panels, wiring, and fixtures), kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple apartments, and a roof access door replacement.

A significant plumbing infrastructure improvement was completed in 2014 with the replacement of the sewer house line. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and habitability concerns, with all building violations from 2003 (including issues with fire safety systems, egress, and electrical fixtures) being resolved by September 2003. A routine safety inspection was conducted in 2016, and tenant complaint records indicate prompt attention to issues such as a leaking roof and heating problems in 2006, which were addressed by 2009. The most recent tenant buyout at the property occurred in 2018 (for unit #768) with a payment of $90,000 to 2 tenants.

Recent activity around the building primarily consists of external maintenance issues (as evidenced by 311 calls), including parking enforcement actions and street cleaning matters, with the most recent being a noise complaint from September 2024. The building has maintained compliance with all major building codes and safety requirements, as evidenced by the complete soft-story retrofit and timely addressing of violations. While there have been periodic maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly during the 2003-2009 period, these have generally been addressed promptly. The property's extensive renovation history suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the building's systems and units.
