234 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

This 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located at 234 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond was built in 1979 and is currently owned by Lee Bock Jew & Yee Nui Cheu. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent reroofing project completed in 2019 at a cost of $12,000. Building maintenance records show regular upkeep of the roof, with previous reroofing work done in 2010 and 1996.

In 2013, permeation grouting was performed below the southern perimeter footing, and in 2004, there was work to address dry rot on the back deck. The building has experienced several safety-related incidents and violations, with the most notable cluster occurring in late 2015 when a routine safety inspection revealed multiple fire safety issues that were subsequently resolved by December 2015. These included the need for smoke detectors at stair locations, fire extinguisher servicing, and various other fire safety improvements. The building experienced a sewage backup issue in February 2021, and a buzzer system malfunction was reported in June 2021 affecting an accessible unit.

The property has also had some historical foundation concerns, as noted in a 2013 complaint regarding cracks reportedly related to neighboring excavation work. There have been several parking-related incidents in recent years, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways, though these are external to the building itself. The building's fire safety record shows no significant incidents, with only minor service calls recorded, and there have been no reported civilian injuries. The property has maintained a generally responsible approach to building maintenance, with regular repairs and updates, though there was a notable cluster of fire safety violations in 2015 that required attention.
