276 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

This 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located at 276 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond was built in 1925 and is currently owned by Jansen Street Venture LLC. The property has experienced recurring hot water issues over several years, with multiple tenant complaints between 2015-2018 reporting no or insufficient hot water, with one complaint in 2018 also noting concerns about water quality and lighting safety.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in 2004 relating to fire safety and security, including problems with smoke enclosure doors, exit door security, combustible storage, egress obstructions, and the need for automatic sprinklers, though these violations were abated by 2016. The building underwent reroofing work in 2002 at a cost of $6,700.

More recent maintenance concerns have focused on external factors, including tree root damage to the sidewalk reported in multiple 311 calls between 2017-2025, and a property damage incident involving tree maintenance in January 2025 that remains open. The building's historical maintenance record shows periodic inspections and some notable issues from the mid-1990s, including problems with hallway cleanliness and water ingress. While many of the previous violations and complaints have been resolved, the pattern of hot water issues and more recent tree-related concerns suggest ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges.
