1540 6th Avenue is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Iota Chapter Xi Psi Phi Fra. Built in 1959, this apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the years. The property received a complete reroofing in 2009 at a cost of $14,425, and in 2003, a substantial electrical upgrade was performed, involving the installation of 7 new meters and mains.

A plumbing permit from 2009 indicates a commercial water heater replacement, though this permit has since expired. The building has experienced various fire safety-related issues in the past, with multiple violations documented in 2000 and 2006. The 2000 violations, which were resolved by August 28, 2000, included problems with combustible storage, fire alarm systems, fire extinguisher maintenance, and egress obstructions. In 2006, additional violations were recorded regarding fire safety equipment, handrails, and gas meter instructions, though these were also addressed by June 12, 2006.

More recently, there is an active complaint from 2001 regarding unused burners that require capping, which remains unresolved as of the latest data. The building has experienced a series of fire-related incidents, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage. These incidents included elevator rescues, false alarms, smoke scares, and cooking-related events, all of which were handled by emergency services without major consequences. The property has also seen regular maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2024 regarding various matters including garbage, parking violations, and noise complaints, though these are generally routine urban management issues.
