2404 28th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The two-story mixed-use building at 2404 28th Ave in Parkside, owned by Alan Tran and Laurie L Yam Re, was constructed in 1925 and contains 6 residential units plus commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a recent $12,000 siding replacement at the back of the building in early 2024. In 2016-2017, the commercial space was successfully converted from retail to a to-go food service business (Foam USA Boba), with comprehensive interior updates totaling $35,000, including new electrical service upgrades and plumbing installations.

The building has experienced recurring issues with unpermitted work, most recently in 2021, though these complaints were subsequently resolved. Previous violation history includes a notable cluster of issues from 2003-2011, with violations related to weatherproofing, electrical safety, sanitation, and security features, all of which were resolved through appropriate corrections or permits. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily concern street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and graffiti, though these are exterior maintenance matters not directly related to building safety or conditions. The property has undergone various infrastructural improvements over the years, including multiple electrical service upgrades, installation of emergency lighting, and plumbing system enhancements.

Noteworthy historical permits include a 2003 installation of a 400-amp service and various electrical upgrades, as well as plumbing work related to gas lines and equipment installation. The building's commercial space has seen active zoning compliance efforts, including accessibility improvements in 2019 and multiple health department approvals for restaurant use. While there have been several complaints about the commercial space being vacant between 2017-2018 and issues with exterior ladders and unauthorized construction, these have generally been addressed promptly through inspections and corrections. The current building permits and recent maintenance calls suggest ongoing attention to property upkeep, though the recent cluster of 311 calls regarding debris and graffiti in late 2024 indicates some ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance in the surrounding area.
