1495 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 21-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1495 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Robert S. Foppoli, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over recent years. The most recent substantial work was completed in early 2023, involving a $160,000 renovation of Unit 7 that included converting a kitchen to a bedroom, relocating the kitchen, rehabilitating the bathroom, and installing washer and dryer facilities, with corresponding electrical and plumbing work properly completed.

The building has also demonstrated commitment to infrastructure maintenance, including the replacement of steam and hot water boilers in 2016 and concrete repair work in 2019. The property has experienced several regulatory and safety-related issues that warrant attention. In 2021, multiple violations were documented including concerns about fire escape ladders, lead paint compliance, carbon monoxide and smoke alarm documentation, window repairs, weatherstripping, interior painting, and security requirements, though all were officially abated by January 2022.

More recent incidents in 2023-2024 suggest ongoing challenges, including complaints about lead work disturbances, unauthorized water damage repairs, and safety concerns during painting work in mid-2024. A current open fire violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements indicates an existing compliance issue. The building is classified as a Tier 2 soft-story structure, with work reportedly completed and a CFC issued, though this classification typically requires ongoing structural performance monitoring. While the property has experienced various maintenance and compliance challenges, it's worth noting that many historical violations (including multiple fire system-related issues between 2008-2019) have been resolved through corrective action, indicating a pattern of addressing regulatory requirements when they arise.
