717 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 717 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Margaret S Kim, was constructed in 1954 and contains 6 units. The property has experienced several significant events, most notably a fire in 2008 that caused considerable damage to unit #4, requiring a comprehensive electrical rewiring (including installation of smoke detectors) and extensive repairs to drywall, floors, carpets, and cabinets, costing approximately $14,000.

The building underwent re-roofing work in 2017, with a project cost of $27,250, while earlier permits show roofing work from 1994 and various remodels dating back to 1996 including kitchen cabinet replacement. The property has a history of building violations, with a notable cluster of issues identified during a routine inspection in late 2015 that were all abated by January 2016; these included requirements for security modifications (including door viewers), fire safety corrections (including fire extinguisher recharge and identification issues), and various plumbing/electrical compliance matters.

More recent history shows occasional maintenance and safety concerns, including a complaint in 2011 regarding lack of hot water in unit #4, though this was resolved within a month. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior issues such as garbage, debris, and graffiti, though these do not directly impact resident safety or habitability. The building's systematic record shows regular inspections and prompt attention to violations when they occur, though the significant 2008 fire damage and subsequent repairs represent the most substantial incident in the building's recent history.
