765 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 765 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by 14 Ave Partners LP, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. Most notably, a substantial $41,026 fire safety system upgrade was issued in December 2024, which includes new control panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, radio communication equipment, and horn strobes throughout the building, demonstrating a commitment to resident safety.

The building underwent extensive renovations between 2015-2016, including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels in all units, electrical upgrades, and the installation of new fixtures and appliances in Units 1-6, with the work being properly documented through multiple building, plumbing, and electrical permits totaling over $240,000. The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, including a 2018 reroofing project ($21,665), footing replacement in 2016 ($10,000), and a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2017. Past violations from 2002 related to fire safety equipment and egress issues were promptly addressed within two weeks of citation.

A more recent complaint from December 2022 reported multiple issues including loose windows, electrical problems, and water damage, which was marked as resolved by March 2023. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, with historical permits indicating previous seismic brick work in 1990 and various routine inspections, though some older permits from the 1990s and 1991 and a 1999 complaint about addressing an address correction are now expired. The most recent fire-related incident recorded was a natural gas leak, though no civilian injuries were reported.
