1437 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1437 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Kb Investments U S A Inc, has undergone several significant changes and faced various challenges since its construction in 1924. Most notably, between 2009 and 2011, there was a major enforcement action regarding an illegal in-law unit in the garage area, which resulted in multiple violations being issued and subsequently abated, including issues related to unauthorized plumbing and electrical systems, safety concerns, and improper occupancy violations.

The building underwent various corrective measures during this period, including the removal of illegal kitchens and bathrooms, reinforcement of interior entry door glazing, and other safety improvements, all documented through multiple building permits with completion dates in 2010. The building has had regular housing inspections over the years, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2018, showing compliance with current housing standards. Building maintenance records show a re-roofing project completed in 2010 and a street space permit issued in 2015.

The property has experienced several fire alarm activations, mostly related to unintentional causes such as detector malfunctions or smoke removal, but no significant fire incidents or civilian injuries have been reported. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations for driveway blocking between 2018 and 2023, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. Infrastructure maintenance records indicate periodic street cleaning needs and a sewage backup incident in 2010, though these appear to be routine urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems.
