335 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 335 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Lew Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1961. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (for $85,000), and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 that included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety codes.

Recent maintenance activities include a bathroom remodel in Apartment 6 (April 2024), though this work generated complaints about unpermitted plumbing modifications and water damage, including reports of plumbing leaks, mold, and deteriorating conditions in the carport area. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, with earlier work including roof replacement (1996), siding work (1993), and dry rot repairs (1988).

Historical violation records from 2003 indicate multiple safety-related issues that were subsequently resolved, including problems with the fire escape system, alarm system, and combustible storage. Recent complaints from 2024 have centered around building permits and inspection compliance, particularly concerning garage modifications and elevator functionality. The property has also experienced recurring issues with driveway access, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls throughout 2024, though many were unable to be verified by responding officers.
