269 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 269 5th Ave in the Inner Richmond, owned by Fong Clifford, was constructed in 1988 following the demolition of a previous structure in 1986. The three-story apartment building underwent significant work in its early days, including a horizontal addition in 1987 and the installation of a fire sprinkler system, though records show the sprinkler installation permit expired.

The building has had two major roofing projects, with the most recent completed in 2017 at a cost of $27,000, and a previous roofing project completed in 1999. The building's history includes three routine safety inspections that revealed various safety concerns, particularly in 2004 when multiple violations were documented related to fire safety, including issues with emergency exit lights, fire proofing in the garage, and problems with smoke detectors. A 2010 inspection identified egress obstructions and concerns about combustible storage.

These violations were all abated by May 2004, with subsequent inspections in 2016 showing no active violations. The property has also experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as documented in multiple 311 calls between 2014 and 2024, primarily related to driveway blocking incidents. Additionally, there were two instances of graffiti on the building in 2014 that were addressed, and the property has occasionally required general street cleaning services as noted in DPW responses.
