338 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 338 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1977 and currently owned by Wuliu Joyce. The building has undergone several permit applications and modifications over its lifetime, with the most significant being the creation of tandem parking for three cars in 1990 to legalize a social room and bath on the first floor, which was approved and completed.

Other notable permit activity includes a 1999 modification to correct a notice of violation related to doors and iron grilles, and a 1994 permit application to partition storage for corridor access to the backyard, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. The building has been subject to regular housing safety inspections, with a specific incident in April 2002 revealing multiple safety compliance issues including the need for smoke detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas meter instructional diagrams, all of which were promptly addressed and abated within a week.

More recent routine safety inspections occurred in 2010 and 2015, both of which were marked as not active. The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in recent months, with several 311 calls between 2023 and 2024 reporting vehicles blocking driveways, parking on sidewalks, and other parking violations, though these are external factors not directly related to building conditions or safety.
