2650-2656 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The Fong property at 2650-2656 Anza Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Alvin & Lan Fong. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates in recent years, including a complete replacement of the sidewalk sewer pipe and house trap in July 2019. Multiple street space permits were issued between 2018-2019, and the property was previously involved in sidewalk and street space repairs in 2010.

A notable issue occurred in 2018 with an active complaint regarding unauthorized construction in the top unit, while another complaint that year raised concerns about peeling paint, rotted garage doors, and hazardous building materials. The building underwent a series of violations in 2007-2008 that were subsequently abated, including issues with stair landings, fire extinguisher requirements, seismic braces, and security measures, indicating a period of substandard conditions that has since been resolved. The property has maintained regular apartment housing inspections since 1999, with the last recorded inspections revealing no active violations related to building safety or maintenance.

Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to parking violations, sidewalk cleaning, and graffiti, which are more associated with street-level conditions than building-specific issues. A recent planning approval for a Cottage Food Operator use has been granted, permitting this activity as an accessory use within the existing residential structure. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing infrastructure needs, though there was a period of multiple housing violations in 2007-2008 that suggests earlier maintenance challenges were present. The most recent building-related activities have focused on infrastructure improvements and compliance with planning requirements, with no recent fire or safety violations on record.
