705-711 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 705-711 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by the Allan Chiu Family Trust, was constructed in 1923 and contains four apartment units. The property has experienced several significant safety violations, most notably during a routine safety inspection in 2002, which revealed multiple issues requiring immediate attention, including the need for repaired stairs, improved lighting, removal of combustible storage, fire safety compliance updates, window repairs, security improvements such as self-closing devices on exterior doors, and the installation of smoke detectors in stairways.

These violations were all successfully abated by June 27, 2002. Since then, the building has undergone regular safety inspections in 2010 and 2015, though no major violations have been recorded in recent years.

Historical records show a permit from 1990 for the removal of a stove and capping of a gas line, and an April 1989 permit attempt to bring the building into full compliance, though this was cancelled. Recent activity at the property has been minimal, with only routine maintenance and administrative matters being logged, such as a faded sign reported in June 2024 and multiple parking-related incidents near the property. The building's most recent inspections and absence of major violations suggest improved compliance with safety standards, though the property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement in the vicinity, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls regarding blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2018 and 2024.
