315 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 315 4th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Yim N Tang House Trust, contains three units and was constructed in 1976. The building's history reveals several significant safety-related events, with the most recent routine safety inspection conducted in 2016.

Between 2001 and 2010, the property experienced multiple violations related to safety equipment and fire hazards, including issues with gas utility shutoff tools, posting of gas meter instructional diagrams, and combustible storage concerns that required either removal or the installation of automatic fire sprinklers; all these violations were eventually abated by September 2010. The building underwent physical modifications in 1987 when illegal partitions were removed from the basement, and in 2007, electrical work was completed to install chairlift receptacles in hallways. More recently, from 2023 to early 2024, there have been numerous parking-related incidents near the property, with multiple 311 calls regarding driveway blocking.

These calls resulted in various outcomes, including citations being issued, though in many cases, officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. While these parking issues are not directly related to building safety or habitability, their frequency suggests ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The building has maintained general compliance with housing regulations since 2010, with no active violations on record, and has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services.
