425 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit apartment building at 425 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Richard Y & Jennifer C Wong, is a 2-story structure built in 1916 that experienced a significant fire incident in October 2015 causing extensive damage and rendering the building uninhabitable. The fire resulted in substantial damage to roof members, light wells, siding, framing, and required extensive water damage repairs throughout the interior.

Following the fire, the building underwent major rehabilitation work in 2016 totaling approximately $470,000, including repairs to walls, patio decks, stairs, new shear walls, and interior finishes, along with the installation of new furnaces and plumbing systems for all units. The building's post-repair period saw multiple inspection-related concerns, particularly in 2017, with several complaints regarding construction noise, safety concerns about moving in before final inspections, and issues related to construction site management. These complaints were documented between April and August 2017, with residents expressing concerns about construction crew behavior, early morning noise, and the handling of building materials.

The property has required multiple street space permits between 2016-2017, and the electrical systems in all units underwent rewiring to meet new specifications following the fire damage. Building violations from 2015-2016 included issues with combustible storage, sanitation concerns, and the building's designation as a nuisance property in early 2016, though these violations were subsequently addressed and abated by April 2016. The most recent building-related activity includes various 311 calls between 2017-2022 primarily related to parking issues and general street maintenance.
