1755 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1755 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Lee Helen & Choy Johnson, was constructed in 1955 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being completed in 2018 when dry rot repairs were made to the rear exterior stairway and handrail. The building has faced multiple fire safety and building maintenance issues over the years, particularly evident in a routine inspection in 2002 that uncovered several violations including the need for smoke detectors, smoke enclosure door closers, handrail repairs, and the removal of combustible materials in the garage.

Many of these violations were abated by July 2002. A subsequent routine inspection in 2010 noted similar concerns about combustible storage, handrails, and egress obstruction, though records indicate these were resolved by March 2011. The most recent routine inspection from 2018 is currently marked as active.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with a complete reroofing project recorded in 1993 (though expired) and a cancelled permit from 1994 for a FEMA-related retaining wall project. In terms of exterior environment maintenance, there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the street and sidewalk conditions near the property, particularly for cleaning (2022-2024), pavement defects (2022), and tree-related concerns. Recent complaints in 2023-2024 have focused on general street cleaning needs and graffiti, while infrastructure issues such as a missing side sewer vent cover (2021) and tree problems (2021) have been addressed through appropriate channels. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety and maintenance issues through permits and violation corrections, though the activity of the most recent housing inspection in 2018 suggests continued monitoring of building conditions.
