318-320 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 318-320 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Lew Family Trust, was constructed in 1909 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past years, with the most recent work being a kitchen remodel and lighting upgrade scheduled for 2025 at an estimated cost of $43,700. Between 2020-2021, substantial improvements were made to units 2 and 3, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and electrical upgrades, totaling around $60,000.

The building experienced several notable issues in 2018, including violations related to heating systems, dry rot in the crawlspace, foundation repairs, and various building code compliance matters, all of which have since been addressed. A sequence of complaints in 2018-2021 raised concerns about contractor work beyond permitted scope, tenant notifications, and construction impacts on residents, though these issues have been resolved since. The building's maintenance history reveals proactive upkeep, including furnace installations, electrical system upgrades, and window replacements.

A routine safety inspection in 2015 resulted in multiple fire safety violations related to fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide alarms, all of which were resolved by February 2016. The property has undergone several sidewalk repairs, with the most recent issue being an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk, reported in 2024. Regular parking enforcement calls related to driveway blocking have been documented, along with street cleaning requests. The building has experienced two fire safety complaints in 2008-2009 regarding combustible materials, but these were found to have no merit or jurisdictional relevance.
