438-440 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 438-440 34th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Mccluskey & Lin Fmly Tr. The building has undergone significant improvements and safety upgrades over the past decade, most notably the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system in 2019, including sprinklers and an alarm monitoring system for the ground floor ADU units, at a total cost of approximately $22,000.

In 2017, the property underwent substantial renovations including a voluntary soft-story retrofit estimated at $70,000, improvements to building reinforcement with Simpson Strong Walls and steel components, and the addition of a new accessory unit on the ground floor comprising 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, and kitchen. The building has seen various other improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2014 ($13,000), kitchen remodels for both units in 2012 ($25,000), and the construction of a new rear deck in 2013 ($10,000) to address a violation notice related to unpermitted construction. While there was a period of non-compliance in 2013 regarding the rear deck construction, this was resolved by November 2015.

The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since then, with no current violations on record. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues and periodic street cleaning matters, which do not directly impact building safety or habitability. The most recent building system improvements suggest a well-maintained property with significant attention to safety upgrades, particularly regarding fire protection systems.
