347 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 347 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907. Recent extensive renovations have focused on upgrading the building's safety systems and improving living spaces. As of January 2024, a fire alarm system upgrade was completed to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, following the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system and the addition of 92 sprinklers throughout the building in 2023.

The building underwent significant interior modifications, including the legalization of a ground floor unit, bathroom renovations, and the conversion of mechanical spaces. Major plumbing improvements included complete system remodeling, installation of new bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, along with radiant heating systems on both floors. The building's exterior received attention as well, with stucco replacement and window upgrades completed in 2023.

The property has a history of construction-related complaints from neighbors, particularly regarding noise and vibrations during the renovation period in late 2022 through 2023, though these issues were addressed promptly by building inspectors. A notable violation regarding an unpermitted basement unit was recorded in 2004 but has been resolved as of March 2024, following compliance with building codes and penalty payments. The building's recent improvements have focused on modernizing safety systems and expanding living space, with all major construction work currently completed and systems brought up to current code requirements. The property has experienced some parking enforcement issues in 2024, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocked driveways, though these are unrelated to the building's condition or safety systems.
