240 Saint Josephs Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

240 Saint Josephs Avenue is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1963, currently owned by 240 Saint Josephs A2 LP. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, particularly in 2018-2021, focusing on unit upgrades and safety requirements. Major renovations include comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels with washer/dryer installations in multiple units (101, 102, 107, 109, 112, 113, and 114) totaling over $320,000 in improvements.

The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $112,000, and addressed fire safety with a fire alarm system upgrade the same year. Other notable improvements include a $35,000 reroofing project in 2020 and various electrical system upgrades to comply with safety codes. The building has faced several maintenance and safety challenges over its history, most notably a cluster of violations in 2001 related to heating, fire extinguishers, and elevator maintenance, all of which were resolved by March 2001.

More recent concerns include multiple tenant complaints in 2021 about construction noise and work quality, particularly regarding balcony door functionality and mold issues in Unit 105. The property has generated numerous noise-related complaints in 2023, particularly regarding mechanical equipment and construction activity. A fire alarm system issue was reported and corrected in April 2023, though a duplicate complaint was filed for the same incident. The building's most recent permit activity and inspections suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, particularly focusing on individual unit modernization and building safety requirements.
