390-396 23rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121
The 390-396 23rd Avenue property, a 3-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1921 and currently under the Michael Spellman Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance activities over recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the property participated in the awning amnesty program to legalize street-facing awnings for "Safe Harbor" and "Richmond Nail Salon," demonstrating compliance with city regulations. The building has had regular infrastructure maintenance, including two sewer line repairs in 2019 and 2017, and a new 200-amp electrical service installation in 2020 that serviced commercial and residential spaces alike.
Several historical maintenance issues were documented, including a 2004 project involving plumbing inspections, bathroom work, and pipe replacements, as well as improvements made in response to various housing violations in 2002 concerning interior surfaces, plumbing, and lead paint concerns. The property has experienced some commercial space transitions, with a 2023 complaint regarding an unauthorized change from a computer store to a tax office, though this complaint is currently marked as "Not Active." Fire safety was addressed in 2015 when blocked exits were reported and subsequently corrected. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to infrastructure upkeep, with various permits issued for roofing (2000), sidewalk repairs (2002), and street space usage (2017, 2019).
Multiple 311 calls in the past year indicate ongoing street maintenance needs in the vicinity, including graffiti removal and debris cleaning, though these issues are external to the building itself. The property's record shows active management response to code compliance requirements, as evidenced by the recent awning amnesty participation and historical responses to housing violations. While there have been multiple building complaints and violations in the past, particularly in the early 2000s, these have all been addressed and resolved according to available records, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years.
