244-246 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, the 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 244-246 8th Avenue was constructed in 1908 and is currently owned by Carol Jane Yuen. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most critical incidents occurring between 2001-2011. These issues included multiple building violations related to fire safety (such as fire proofing repairs), plumbing and electrical problems, and violations of smoke detector requirements in early 2001.

A cluster of complaints in 2011 revealed unpermitted construction work in Unit 3, along with various building maintenance issues requiring abatement. The building underwent some permitted improvements, including a bathroom renovation in 2011 (though initially completed without proper permits), a reroofing project in 1990, and several routine maintenance repairs. More recent history shows various quality of life concerns, including multiple complaints about heating issues, window problems, and mold in 2010-2011.

Since the major violations were addressed, the property has had relatively few serious building code issues, though there have been ongoing concerns about driveway access, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement requests in 2024. Several 311 calls between 2019-2020 indicate occasional street cleaning and waste management issues near the property, but these are typical urban maintenance matters not directly related to the building's condition. The most recent building-related complaints recorded date back to 2010-2011, suggesting improved property maintenance in recent years, though this should be verified with current building inspections or local housing authorities.
