2391-2395 29th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 15-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 2391-2395 29th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Oryx 2395 29th Ave LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most recently, in July 2024, Unit #2 received extensive upgrades including bathroom and kitchen renovations costing $55,000. Major safety improvements were implemented in 2019, including a comprehensive overhaul of the fire safety systems with the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and sprinkler monitoring, as well as the addition of two new dwelling units (ADUs). The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 4 building, achieving Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status.

The property has had a history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly evident in a series of violations documented in 2001, which included problems with the alarm system, fire safety equipment, and interior maintenance. These issues were all resolved by February 2002. More recent fire safety complaints were investigated in 2019 and 2022, with one being classified as having "Condition Corrected" status. Multiple units were renovated in 2018, and various infrastructure upgrades have been performed over the years, including HVAC system improvements, plumbing updates, and electrical work.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both individual unit upgrades and building-wide safety systems, though there have been periodic issues with hot water availability reported by tenants between 1999-2002. The property underwent a tenant buyout process in January 2019, with two tenants receiving $125,000. Recent maintenance history shows ongoing attention to building systems, with multiple permits and inspections demonstrating active management of the property's infrastructure. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as graffiti and debris rather than building-specific problems, indicating that major building systems and safety concerns have been addressed in recent years.
