239 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 239 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Chuck Kevin T & Kathy H, was constructed in 1964 and consists of 2 stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) costing $48,000, and recent window upgrades with the installation of four new energy-efficient windows in 2019 ($7,200). The building has a history of maintenance issues, particularly during the 2002-2006 period when multiple violations were recorded, including security concerns with lobby and garage doors, various repair needs (damaged walls, ceilings, and paint), and lead paint hazard notifications.

These violations, all of which were abated by October 2006, also included a broken sewer issue. Since then, the building has undergone various maintenance work including siding replacements, with the most recent vinyl siding installation occurring in 2000, and repairs to address dry rot on the back wall in 2008. Recent building activity shows regular maintenance and improvements, with the 2017 soft-story retrofit being the most significant structural upgrade.

The building experienced one fire-related incident in 2007 related to smoke detector activation, with no injuries reported, and a hazardous materials complaint which was resolved in November 2007. Since 2009, there have been no recorded violations or major complaints regarding building conditions, suggesting improved maintenance standards. The property has undergone routine safety inspections, with the last recorded inspection occurring in 2015. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking violations and garbage concerns, rather than building-specific problems, indicating that major building systems and safety concerns have been largely addressed in recent years.
