343 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 343 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Lim Fmly Tr, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone various maintenance and safety inspections over its lifetime. The building has had several significant safety-related issues in its history, most notably a cluster of violations identified during a routine safety inspection in December 2015, which included problems with carbon monoxide alarms, smoke detectors, lead paint hazards, and exterior security lighting. These violations were all addressed and abated by May 2016.

Earlier safety concerns were documented in a 2005 routine inspection, including issues with smoke enclosure door closers and emergency exiting. The building's maintenance history includes a street space permit issued in 2016 and a reroofing project from 2003, along with interior renovations to the kitchen area completed in 1989. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-related issues, with multiple reports of abandoned motorcycles and vehicles, as well as several complaints about driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024.

The most recent building-related issue was a general cleaning matter involving loose garbage reported in November 2023. The property has maintained active compliance with city regulations since addressing the 2015 violations, with no subsequent building code violations recorded in recent years. The absence of recurring building-specific complaints over the past several years may indicate improved maintenance and safety compliance, though the majority of recent service calls relate to street parking and abandoned vehicle issues rather than building condition concerns.
