321 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 321 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by John G & Margaret C P Wong, consists of 4 units and was constructed in 1971. The building's maintenance record shows two roofing projects: one completed in 1989 and another in 2006, costing $9,000. A significant cluster of safety violations was recorded during a routine inspection on November 1, 2004, which included issues with fire safety (such as the need for a rechargeable fire extinguisher, gas shutoff tools, and the removal of combustible storage from the garage), security (requiring 135-degree viewers for entry doors), and smoke detection (installation of smoke detectors in stairwells).

These violations were all addressed and abated by December 2, 2004. A follow-up inspection in June 2010 noted another violation regarding combustible storage, and a routine safety inspection occurred in June 2016, though no violations from this inspection are recorded. In recent years, the property has experienced multiple parking-related issues, with eight citations issued between 2018 and 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks.

The most recent incidents occurred in 2023-2024, with varying results from officer responses, including some cases where vehicles couldn't be located and at least three citations issued. While these parking violations don't directly impact the building's safety or maintenance, they indicate ongoing concerns with street parking in the immediate area. The building's documented history shows regular compliance with safety inspections and prompt attention to identified violations, with no active violations currently on record.
