240-242 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 240-242 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Lui Family 2017 Trust, has undergone several significant modifications since its construction in 1908. The property completed a horizontal addition in 1988, followed by important safety improvements, including the installation of basement fire sprinklers in 1989 and concrete slab replacement work in 2002 costing $3,500.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with notable violations documented in 2001 and 2016 involving egress obstructions, fire extinguisher maintenance, fire proofing, and smoke detection system deficiencies. During the 2016 annual routine inspection, additional violations were noted regarding combustible storage and the need for a carbon monoxide alarm/detector in each unit, though all violations were subsequently abated. More recent history shows the building has been active in addressing maintenance issues, with recent sidewalk cleaning documented in March 2020.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the vicinity, particularly with vehicles blocking driveways, as evidenced by multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2024. While these parking violations are not directly related to building safety or maintenance, they indicate ongoing challenges with street parking management in the area. The most recent building-related permit on record was issued in 2007 for streetspace and sidewalk work, suggesting there may have been no major structural modifications or safety violations in recent years.
