338-342 Hermann St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 338-342 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Alan S. Ladwiniec, was constructed in 1922. The building's recorded history shows significant safety and compliance issues that were addressed between 2002-2008, including multiple violations related to fire safety, smoke detection, and structural requirements.

The most comprehensive set of violations occurred in October 2008, requiring installations such as handrails, smoke alarms, gas meter shut-off tools, and fire proofing materials. These violations were all resolved by December 2008 through a $3,200 building permit. Earlier violations from 2002 included requirements for fire extinguishers, garage door manual release, and proper placement of garbage receptacles, all of which were also addressed by 2008.

The building underwent various maintenance work over the years, including roofing work in 1996 and multiple incomplete/expired permits for garage and foundation work in the 1980s. More recently, there have been numerous 311 calls (2023-2024) primarily related to street cleaning and garbage debris issues outside the building, though these are external matters not directly affecting resident safety. Two minor fire incidents have been recorded at the property, with no civilian injuries reported - one was a contained cooking fire and another was a service call. Regular building inspections have occurred, with the most recent one noted in September 2024, though the specific findings were not detailed in the available data.
