378-382 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 378-382 Francisco Street in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, owned by Lai Gin Yu 2012 Irrevoc Tr, was constructed in 1914 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2005-2008. These included violations related to fire safety (missing fire extinguishers, emergency exit obstructions) and general safety (inadequate smoke detectors, emergency exiting issues), all of which were addressed by August 2005, along with interior maintenance issues like floor covering repairs and lead paint warnings.

The building's rear stairs/second egress were notably replaced in 2003 due to damage, at a cost of $3,000, which represented a significant safety upgrade. Recent concerns about the property have primarily focused on external maintenance and neighborhood impacts, with the most recent building-related complaint being a sewage backup discharge from a side sewer vent in November 2024. Other recent issues around the building, documented through 311 calls, include responses to illegal parking, street cleanliness, and environmental concerns, though these are more related to the building's neighborhood context than its structural condition.

Historic records show earlier improvements including sheetrock repairs and bathroom remodeling in 1984, and a window-related compliance issue in 1986. The property has consistently required street space permits, with the most recent issued in 2018. While there have been multiple routine inspections recorded (2001, 2005, and 2008), the building appears to have maintained compliance with building and safety codes since the resolution of the 2005-2008 violations.
