880 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 880 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond district, built in 1927 and currently owned by Lee 1988 Fmly Trust, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. As of late 2024, the property is undergoing extensive unit renovations, including Unit 2 conversion (kitchen to study), bathroom rehabilitation, and utility upgrades, with similar work happening in Units 3, 5, and 6.

These renovations, totaling over $340,000, include new gas furnaces, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical rewiring, and the installation of washer/dryer facilities. A major electrical upgrade has also been completed, with the service capacity increased from 125 amp to 400 amp in December 2024. Historically, the building faced several compliance issues, notably regarding mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting.

Two complaints were filed in 2017 and 2021 regarding non-compliance with the San Francisco Building Code's earthquake safety requirements, though these have since been resolved with certification of completion issued. Previous violations from 2013 included various safety and maintenance issues such as the need for carbon monoxide alarms, lead hazard remediation, and repairs to common area walls and ceilings, all of which have been abated. The building has also undergone necessary infrastructure improvements over the years, including sewer line replacement (2011), kitchen renovations (2022), and dealing with historical issues like dry rot repairs (1996) and fascia board replacements (1984).
