271 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 271 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Low Henry G & Jane Y Truste, has a concerning history of fire safety violations and recent maintenance issues. The building, constructed in 1922, has documented multiple fire code violations from 2019 through 2024, with the most recent occurring in November 2024 related to sprinkler maintenance. Between 2009-2011, there were several incidents involving fire alarm systems that were corrected, along with a blocked exit complaint in 2011 that was deemed to have no merit.

A notable pattern emerged in late 2024/early 2023 with multiple fire safety violations at 250 23rd Avenue (the same address as this building's reported location), including issues with sprinklers, exit signs, fire extinguishers, and corridor penetrations, though many of these violations were subsequently abated. The property has experienced multiple instances of garbage and debris accumulation, particularly in September 2024, with several reports of discarded furniture and bags of garbage. Parking-related issues have been somewhat recurrent, with several reports of illegal parking between October and December 2024, though officers were unable to validate most of these complaints upon arrival.

A potentially hazardous tree maintenance issue was reported and resolved in December 2024. The most critical recent event was the November 2024 fire violation regarding sprinkler service that remains open, representing a potential safety concern. While many historical violations have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of fire safety issues and recent maintenance challenges should be noted when considering this property.
