350 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 6-unit apartment building at 350 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, managed by Iwata Management LLC, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1963. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) at a cost of $50,000, and received a new roof in 2020 at a cost of nearly $27,000. Additional maintenance work includes a gas house line extension completed in 2018.

The building has a history of regulatory compliance issues that have been addressed over time, including three fire safety violations in 2004 related to the central alarm system, fire extinguishers, and combustible storage, all of which were abated by 2010. A lead hazard violation was documented in 2012, along with concerns about building maintenance including broken mailbox locks and an unclean parking garage, though this complaint was resolved relatively quickly. Recent infrastructure concerns were evident in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of sewage backup issues and human/animal waste on the property or adjacent areas.

The building experienced one recorded fire incident (a contained cooking fire) and a water/steam leak incident, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2004, 2007, and 2012, typically resulting in citations that were subsequently resolved. There's an expired permit from 1992 for aluminum window installation, and several NYC311 calls in recent years primarily relate to parking enforcement issues, including multiple instances of driveway blocking in 2019-2020, and more recent plumbing concerns suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. While many historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of recent sewage issues and reports of waste suggest possible ongoing maintenance challenges in common areas.
