747 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 747 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1989. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory challenges over its history. In 2001-2003, there were substantial code compliance issues, including a major violation for an unauthorized three-room apartment installation in the garage area, which was not properly permitted and raised serious safety concerns about inadequate light, ventilation, heating, and emergency egress.

This illegal unit also triggered multiple fire safety violations, including problems with fire extinguishers and combustible storage, all of which were eventually abated by December 2001. During this period, two separate building permits were issued to address these violations: one for removing illegal bathroom and kitchen facilities at the ground level in 2003, and another (which was later cancelled) to restore a dwelling unit to a storage room and legalize a bathroom on the first floor. The building's early history includes construction as a two-unit structure in 1987 following the demolition of a prior building, with an attempted sprinkler installation in 1988 that was cancelled. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with no major building code violations recorded since 2001.

However, the property has had numerous 311 calls in the past few years primarily related to street cleaning and garbage issues, with the most recent complaints occurring in 2023-2024. These recent calls have all been resolved, typically involving general street cleaning or parking enforcement issues. The building's current ownership is held by the Hum Family Trust (Anthony & Karina). The property has maintained its original two-unit configuration since the 2001-2003 code compliance resolution period, with no recorded unauthorized unit modifications in recent years.
