300 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 300 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Silverman Govan Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with particular attention to safety systems and telecommunications infrastructure. Of note, the building completed a soft-story retrofit in 2014 (as a Tier 3 building), and has recently invested in major safety upgrades including a new fire alarm system in 2024 ($4,100) and reroofing work in 2024 ($28,000).

The property has been active with telecommunications modifications, including recent work by DISH in late 2023 ($50,000) and the removal of T-Mobile equipment in 2023 ($8,300). A fire violation related to the alarm system was issued in April 2024, though this appears to be associated with the ongoing upgrades that were completed shortly thereafter. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a recent cold water main replacement in January 2025.

Historical building violations from 2004 related to egress obstructions and fire safety systems were all resolved within three weeks of being cited. While there has been a recent pattern of reports regarding garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building (ten cases between December 2024 and January 2025), these are primarily related to city garbage cans and street cleaning issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property has undergone regular routine safety inspections over the years, including scheduling regular housing inspections in 1999, 2010, and 2012, with no significant issues noted in recent inspections.
