1769 7th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1769 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, built in 1955 and owned by James H K & Ann S Kong Revo, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Currently, there are multiple active complaints from late 2023 through 2024, including reports of no heat, refrigerator issues, water leaks, and general maintenance concerns such as door weatherstripping and peeling paint. A notable incident occurred in September 2023 involving water damage from an upstairs unit, and the building has also experienced problems with slippery stairs, blocked back stairs, and a broken back door with security concerns.

Historical records show the building underwent a deck replacement in 2012 and had some seismic upgrades attempted in 2000, though these permits appear to have either expired or been cancelled. The property has a history of fire safety violations, with multiple issues documented in a 2002 inspection related to fire extinguisher maintenance, gas utility shutoff tools, and combustible storage, including incidents involving cardboard boxes under parked vehicles. A routine inspection in February 2018 resulted in the issuance of violations requiring various fire safety improvements, which were marked as abated in April 2018.

More recently, a refrigerator replacement was noted as an active violation in late 2023. There have been documented water-related issues, including a leak near the water heater and ceiling holes in the garage reported in September 2023. The building has also experienced some exterior and infrastructure challenges, with multiple 311 calls regarding street lighting, tree maintenance, and graffiti in the surrounding area between 2014 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition.
