200-202 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 200-202 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Raymond B Lee and Mei Lin. The building has undergone several inspections and maintenance events over the years, with the most significant safety-related issues arising during routine inspections in 2002 and 2006. In 2002, violations were documented concerning security requirements, including the need for self-closing devices on exterior doors, proper deadlatch locks, and fire extinguisher installations; all of these were resolved by February 2002.

The 2006 inspection identified several concerns including deteriorated drainage pipes on the north side, lack of handrails on back stairs, and issues with fire proofing of the garage ceiling, all of which were addressed by September 2006. More recently, the building has experienced multiple instances of street-level maintenance issues, particularly regarding garbage and debris, with several complaints filed between July 2024 and January 2025, including notable patterns of loose garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture. While these issues indicate ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance, none directly affect the building's internal safety or security systems.

The most recent documented building incident involves a water or steam leak, though no civilian injuries were reported in connection with this event. The property's permit history shows minimal activity, with a street space and sidewalk permit issued in 2007, costing $1.00. The building's documented history suggests it has been generally responsive to regulatory requirements, addressing safety violations promptly when identified through routine inspections.
