273 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 273 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond was constructed in 1988, following a demolition of the previous residential structure on site in October 1986. The building's construction phase included several significant modifications, such as a fire sprinkler system installation with 22 heads, though this permit expired, along with a horizontal addition to the garage area. Two horizontal additions were completed in late 1987, and the final completion permit was issued in March 1988.

The property has undergone regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services over the years, with records from 1999, 2004, and 2016 showing compliance. A notable violation occurred in July 2010 involving combustible storage, though this was resolved within a month. Recent maintenance issues include a damaged side sewer vent cover reported in October 2024, which was accepted and closed by DPH Environmental Health.

The most significant recurring issue has been with blocked driveways, particularly in 2023, with multiple reports filed between January and July 2023, resulting in several citations and resolved cases. There were two more recent reports of blocked driveways in April 2024, one of which was resolved with a citation in April 2024, while another remained unresolved when officers were unable to locate the offending vehicle. The building has maintained its original structure and remains owned by Suen Chik Yuk & Yu Chun Nga, with no significant safety violations or structural issues reported in recent years beyond the recurring parking enforcement matters.
