381-383 21st Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

This property at 381-383 21st Avenue is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, under the ownership of Quock Family Living Trust 1999. Built in 1912, the building has undergone several significant updates in recent years, notably in 2021-2022 when comprehensive renovations were completed including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements with the installation of a tankless water heater. The building had some notable maintenance issues in the early 2000s that resulted in multiple violations related to fire safety, lead paint concerns, and building maintenance, all of which were resolved by 2005.

A string of "Shared Spaces" complaints regarding fire safety emerged between 2018 and 2024, though most were deferred or found to have no merit. The most recent building improvements include interior renovations and utility upgrades completed between 2020 and 2021, with additional exterior work such as siding installation. Historical permits from the 1990s show previous maintenance activities including termite repairs, reroofing, and stucco application.

Recent activity (2024) has generated multiple 311 calls primarily related to public health, graffiti, pavement defects, and a shared spaces structure issue, with some cases still open. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with most being related to system malfunctions or false alarms, and historical violations regarding fire escape maintenance and sprinkler systems from 2005 were subsequently corrected. While the building has maintained active compliance with major codes since 2005, recent fire complaints suggest ongoing attention to fire safety systems in shared spaces is required.
