2393-2395 41st Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2393-2395 41st Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Clifford Alan Young, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements since 2020. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2022 (Tier 3) and installed a new fire sprinkler system throughout the first floor in 2023, demonstrating compliance with current safety requirements. Recent work has focused on updating fire safety systems, including the installation of low-frequency sounders, additional notification devices, and new fire alarm control panels (2021-2024). The property also underwent substantial modifications in 2020 with the addition of three new dwelling units on the ground floor, including comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and building code compliance, though there have been some concerns about delayed responses to issues. In 2024, there were complaints about unsafe conditions related to plumbing work, including an unprotected trench and debris at the site, which was subsequently addressed. Previous violations from 2014-2015 included various safety issues such as mold, window leaks, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were documented as abated. Historical records show past concerns about fire escape ladders, garage usage, and fire safety equipment, but these issues have been resolved through proper maintenance and upgrades.

The building's location has experienced periodic issues with street cleaning and parking violations, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. The property has undergone several significant improvements since its original construction in 1958, including window replacements, bathroom renovations, and electrical upgrades. Recent permits show ongoing work to enhance safety systems, including the installation of sounders and updated sprinkler systems. While historical violations and complaints indicate past maintenance challenges, the recent pattern of permits and improvements suggests active management focusing on building safety and modernization. The building now meets current seismic retrofit requirements, and most recent complaints have been promptly addressed, though some recent plumbing work raised temporary safety concerns that were subsequently resolved.
