353-355 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 353-355 Columbus Avenue property is a three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 353-355 Columbus Ave Sf LLC. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, including a roof replacement in 2007 ($16,500), the installation of a restaurant fire suppression system in 2005, and multiple plumbing improvements including a 2018 backflow preventer installation, 2016 water main replacement, and 2013 heating system upgrades. The property has faced periodic regulatory scrutiny, with several fire safety and operational violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, though most have been promptly addressed upon inspection.

Recent fire safety issues included three complaints in 2024 regarding overcrowding and operating without a permit, and multiple alarm system violations between 2022 and 2024. Building inspections in 2005 and 2011 revealed various code compliance issues that were subsequently resolved, including lead paint concerns, fire egress obstructions, and security concerns. The property has maintained active maintenance practices, as evidenced by numerous street space permits issued between 2013 and 2016, and regular updating of critical systems and equipment.

Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate some ongoing neighborhood concerns in the vicinity, including illegal parking and environmental health matters, though these are external to the building itself. The building's historical permit and violation records show a pattern of routine maintenance and responsive actions to regulatory requirements, with most violations being resolved through proper channels. The property's planning records show the restaurant use (Mona Lisa, Inc.) has been permitted as a continued operation, suggesting successful compliance with business use regulations. The building's fire incident records show no serious incidents requiring emergency response, though there have been several false alarms and system activations typical of older buildings with legacy safety systems.
