388-396 11th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story multi-family residential building at 388-396 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Thomas W & Maggie K Chan 20, was constructed in 1910 and contains 6 units with commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a major electrical upgrade in 2004 with a new 400-amp service and rewiring of apartments and commercial spaces. In recent years, accessibility improvements were implemented in 2020 through the Accessible Business Entrance Program, including door replacements and power operators.

The commercial space has seen various transformations, including a 2012 change of use to a medical service establishment and retail store, and earlier in 2008, the addition of foot spa services. The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, with a notable cluster of violations in 2002 related to security, fire safety, and building conditions, all of which were abated by May 2002. These violations included issues with fire escape ladders, exterior door requirements, and interior surfaces.

More recent improvements have focused on modernizing and maintaining safety features, while the property has experienced several routine inspections over the years, including recent complaints about wiring safety concerns in 2004. The building has recorded six fire-related incidents, all of which were non-injury situations, including smoke detector activations and alarm system activations. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 mostly pertained to street and sidewalk maintenance issues, which were promptly addressed by city services.
