260-262 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 260-262 4th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by Man Sun Wong Trust, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the property has active building violations filed in 2019 related to fire safety, smoke detection, water damage, and structural concerns, including problems with egress obstruction and combustible storage. These violations appear to stem from multiple complaints filed between March and July 2019, which reported issues such as leaking windows, water damage, and concerns about building attachments requiring inspection by licensed professionals.

While some remediation work was completed in late 2019, including bathroom and kitchen renovations, exterior stair repairs, and electrical system upgrades, many violations remain unresolved. Historical records show recurring maintenance issues, with complaints about heating systems, pests, mold, and leaking ceilings documented in March 2019. The building's infrastructure work includes plumbing improvements in 2008 involving gas line modifications, and electrical upgrades in 2019 including emergency lighting installation and GFCI receptacle replacement.

The property's older permits from 1987 indicate past stair repairs, and a street space permit from 2017. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily involve parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations and driveway blocking, though these are external to the building's structural concerns. The building's routine inspections from 1999 and 2015 were resolved without noted violations, suggesting these recent issues are not representative of the building's entire history.
