1727 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

1727 7th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 1948 and owned by Nelson Chao & Lihua Peng Re. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most substantial problems occurring between 2010-2012. The building underwent notable renovations in 2013, including a kitchen remodel on the second floor, the addition of a half bathroom, and electrical system upgrades including replacing the fuse boxes for both units and installing new kitchen and bathroom infrastructure.

The property faced serious water-related problems in 2010, including leaking affecting multiple areas, which led to building violations related to water damage, interior surfaces, and mold/mildew that were abated by July 2010. In 2012, complaints indicated ongoing issues with heating system functionality, resulting in temporary no-heat situations, and various building maintenance concerns including electrical safety, interior paint conditions, and bathroom ventilation problems. These incidents were formally addressed through building permits and repairs, including plumbing and electrical work, with the last major renovation work completed in 2013 costing $35,000.

Since then, there have been no major housing violations or complaints on record, though there have been some maintenance issues noted, including sidewalk parking violations and graffiti reported in 2024. The most recent 311 calls suggest a pattern of parking enforcement issues near the property, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on the sidewalk between 2020-2023, though these are external neighborhood issues rather than building-specific problems. The property appears to have received necessary repairs and upgrades to meet housing code requirements following the 2010-2012 violations, with no more recent building complaints or violations on record as of October 2023.
