305 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 2-story, 7-unit apartment building at 305 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by the Usman & Fatima Shaikh Trust, was built in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 as a Tier 4 building, which included accessibility upgrades such as a bathroom retrofit.

The ground floor commercial space underwent conversion from retail to medical service (chiropractor office) in 2015, with associated improvements including electrical upgrades for X-ray equipment and medical rooms, though there is a pending complaint regarding the lack of a proper sign permit for this change from 2015-2016. The building has experienced multiple routine inspections and resolved various violations over the years, most of which were abated in March 2001 and included issues with windows, doors, ceilings, and fire extinguishers. Recent records from late 2024 show recurring issues with parking violations near the property, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

The property has experienced several alarm activations and emergency responses, primarily for alarm system malfunctions and detector activations, with no reported civilian injuries. A fire complaint from 2021 resulted in a violation being issued, and there was one instance of electrical arcing reported through fire incident records. The most recent major building improvements include the installation of a new furnace in 2016 and various retrofitting and remodeling work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and upgrades to the property.
