370-372 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 370-372 2nd Avenue property in the Inner Richmond is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Alan H. Fong. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major work completed in 2020 including the replacement of non-code compliant interior stairs across all levels, installation of new exterior stairs, and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen renovations throughout the building. Additional substantial improvements include voluntary seismic strengthening at the ground floor in 2018 ($35,000), and recent solar panel installations (two permits issued in late 2023/early 2024 for an 18-module system).

The property has faced several challenges in the past, notably a series of violations and complaints in 2018 regarding mold, rodent infestation, plumbing issues (including sink and bathtub problems), and window repairs, all of which were abated by November 2018. The building has also received various maintenance updates, including plumbing upgrades (2021-2022) and electrical service improvements (200-amp upgrade in 2021). A recent roofing project ($14,000 completed in November 2023) and the installation of a solar system demonstrates ongoing commitment to building maintenance and environmental sustainability. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2018 violations, with no recent building code violations on record.

Recent infrastructure improvements include solar panel installations (completed in 2023 and early 2024), suggesting a focus on sustainable energy solutions. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and upgrading of essential systems, with the most recent major works involving roofing and solar panel installation. Recent building permits indicate continued attention to building code compliance and modernization efforts, though there have been some instances of expired permits requiring subsequent corrections, such as the 2022 plumbing permit that was amended in 2023 to address flue pipe and combustion air louver installation requirements. The property has had several parking-related issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, though these are external to the building itself.
