501-515 Russia Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 501-515 Russia Avenue in Excelsior, owned by Guido & Pierina Giosso Fmly, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant inspections and maintenance procedures over its lifetime. Most notably, in 2018, the building faced multiple fire safety compliance issues that required attention to fire proofing and window glazing, leading to a construction permit for garage repairs.

The building's history shows recurring attention to fire safety systems, with complaints about alarm systems, sprinklers, and fire escapes documented between 2005 and 2024, though recent fire system inspections in July 2024 were found to have "No Merit." The property has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services since 1999, with the most recent comprehensive inspections occurring in 2018. Several violations were recorded and subsequently abated, including security and fire safety requirements such as self-closing doors, smoke detectors, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were addressed by May 2001.

The building underwent a reroofing project in 2003, and while some maintenance issues have persisted, including window glazing repairs and general structural maintenance, most recent 311 calls from late 2024 have primarily concerned street-level garbage and debris rather than building specific issues. The property's compliance record shows prompt attention to violations, with a pattern of addressing safety concerns within reasonable timeframes, though the age of the building and history of fire safety complaints warrant attention to ongoing maintenance needs.
