245 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 245 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Kenneth K & Betty F Hon, was constructed in 1977 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair works over its history, with the most recent being a $13,500 reroofing project completed in 2018. A serious incident occurred in 2000 when the building experienced fire damage to the north property line wall and roof, exposing wall studs and roof framing, which required $35,000 in repairs.

This event led to multiple violations regarding security requirements, all of which were ultimately abated by 2002. The building has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2002, 2006, and 2011, with all issues being resolved promptly. The property's maintenance record shows several exterior improvement attempts, including a cancelled 2000 project to reside the right wall and an expired 2000 permit for applying vinyl siding to the back and side walls.

An earlier reroofing project was attempted in 1994 before its expiration. More recently, there have been three documented parking enforcement issues in 2014 (animal control), 2018, and 2019, though these are not directly related to building conditions. While the building has experienced some incidents requiring repairs and violations in the past, particularly the fire incident in 2000, there have been no significant safety or maintenance issues reported in recent years, and regular routine inspections have been consistently addressed.
