342 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

342 8th Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by 342 8th Avenue Llc and constructed in 1964. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, most notably completing a ~$75,000 soft-story retrofit in 2017 to improve seismic safety (Tier 3, Work Complete, CFC Issued).

Other major maintenance work includes addressing dry rot at the building's front in 1996 and multiple window installations in the early 1990s, though those permits expired. The building has experienced two routine housing inspections (2000 and 2010) that revealed multiple safety concerns requiring remediation, including problems with the central alarm system, plumbing/electrical violations, egress obstructions, and expired fire extinguishers - all of which were eventually abated.

Though these violations occurred more than a decade ago and have been resolved, they indicate past safety compliance challenges. More recent history shows ongoing attention to the property's external environment, with multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2024 related to street cleaning, parking enforcement, and sidewalk maintenance. The most recent building-related activity was a July 2024 report of an encampment near the property, though this was administratively closed and doesn't directly reflect on the building's condition or management.
