1590 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1590 26th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Ken & Connie Leung and constructed in 1963, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and renovations in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building completed a major fire alarm system upgrade costing over $26,000 to comply with current fire code requirements, which included installing new devices and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with window replacements (30 windows) completed in 2020, stucco repairs in 2021, and a reroofing project in 2015.

A voluntary seismic upgrade was performed in 1991, demonstrating attention to structural safety. The building experienced a cluster of violations and complaints in early 2020, primarily related to building maintenance and safety systems, including weatherproofing issues, window leaks, and various interior surface problems. These violations were notably abated by February 2020.

The property has a history of fire safety-related issues, with multiple fire complaints recorded between 2008 and 2023, though most were promptly addressed and marked as "Condition Corrected," including concerns about alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems. While the building has experienced some recent maintenance issues in 2024, primarily related to garbage and debris on the surrounding property, these have been addressed through regular cleaning services. The most recent completed works and active maintenance projects suggest ongoing attention to building safety and habitability standards, though the property has experienced periodic regulatory inspections and required corrections over the years.
