430 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 21-unit multi-family residential building at 430 34th Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Green & Union Prpts Lp, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1926. Most recently, in October 2024, the building began upgrading its fire alarm system to add low frequency sounders and other safety enhancements, with similar electrical work issued in January 2025.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Major rehabilitation work occurred between 2004-2005 following a fire incident, including extensive repairs to walls and roofs, installation of new insulation, and updates to bathrooms and kitchens at a cost exceeding $700,000. The property has experienced recurring issues with moisture and mold, with the most recent complaints filed in late 2023 and early 2023, though these complaints did not specify whether they were officially abated.

Numerous fire safety violations were documented between 2015 and 2023, including a recent open violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, though many previous issues such as blocked exits, alarm system problems, and combustible materials concerns have been corrected. The building underwent significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including the installation of a new hot water boiler system in 2020 and comprehensive electrical system modernization in 2004-2005, which included rewiring vacant units and adding new subpanels. The property has maintained a history of addressing violations promptly, though several recent mold-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
