241-243 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 241-243 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by the Lee Family Living Trust, was constructed in 1973 and consists of two stories. The property has undergone two significant roofing projects, with a $22,000 reroofing completed in 2011 (issued permit) and an earlier reroofing completed in 1989. The building has experienced three routine housing inspections (2001, 2009, and most recently 2016), during which multiple safety violations were identified and subsequently addressed.

The 2016 inspection revealed several fire safety issues, including the need for fire extinguisher servicing, smoke detector installations in stairwells, carbon monoxide alarm requirements, and general building safety compliance matters, all of which were abated by May 2017. The 2009 inspection identified various safety concerns including garage exit door lock issues, water heater seismic bracing requirements, and utility gas shutoff tool provisions, which were also resolved. The property has experienced frequent parking-related issues, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2019 and 2024. Ten such incidents have been recorded, with the most recent occurring in December 2024.

These persistent parking violations have led to citations and other enforcement actions, including several resolved cases involving vehicles blocking the driveway. Additionally, there was one instance of general street cleaning required (February 2021) and one report of an abandoned vehicle (December 2019) that was not present when enforcement arrived. The building is classified as an apartment under the San Francisco building classification system and has been properly maintained with all identified violations being addressed through appropriate remediation. CEQA clearance has been issued for the property, confirming compliance with environmental review requirements.
