701-707 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 701-707 15th Ave in the Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1919 and currently owned by Qiu May M, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past decades. Most notably, in 2022, the building experienced water damage requiring extensive repairs in multiple units, including bathroom renovations with new drywall, insulation, and fixtures, along with sewer-related work including a lateral repair and backflow prevention valve installation.

The building has seen continual modernization efforts, particularly in 2008-2009, when comprehensive renovations were completed in units 701-707, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical system improvements, and the addition of a basement media room in unit 707. Historical records show that the building faced several serious violations in 2002 related to fire safety, including issues with combustible storage, egress obstruction, and stair repairs; however, these violations were all abated by October 28, 2002.

Recent maintenance has focused on infrastructure improvements, including a 2013 re-roofing project and various plumbing upgrades, such as furnace replacements and sewer system maintenance. The building's recent history shows active management of both routine maintenance and substantial renovations, with all permit work properly completed and no active violations on record. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 2002 and 2010, both of which were resolved, and the property has undergone various improvements to its fire safety systems, including attempts to install sprinklers in 2010 (permit expired) and subsequent plumbing and electrical work.
