300-314 Anzavista Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 300-314 Anzavista Ave, owned by Mary Yang Family LLC, was constructed in 1952 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, installing new moment frames and shear walls to improve seismic safety. Recent building maintenance issues have included persistent problems with basic services and building conditions, as evidenced by multiple active complaints as of 2023 related to heating systems, security, and maintenance of common areas.

These active complaints follow a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, including a 2018 complaint about various building system failures, and multiple complaints in 2019 regarding plumbing issues and interior degradation. The building has undergone several infrastructure improvements, including water heater replacement in 2019, electrical panel updates in 2014 (though this permit expired), and various street space permits. Historical records indicate a series of violations from 2001 that were all abated by May 2001, covering issues with interior surfaces, smoke detectors, security requirements, and lighting.

More recent complaints have focused on building maintenance and systems issues rather than structural or safety violations, though they suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining basic building systems and resident comfort. The property has completed necessary exterior work, including soft-story retrofitting, though some exterior maintenance issues have been reported, such as peeling paint and graffiti. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior concerns like garbage and debris, though these are municipal street issues rather than direct building management concerns. The building's management has shown responsiveness to some issues—evidenced by multiple completed permits for repairs and system upgrades—though the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining building conditions to an optimal standard.
