248 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 5-unit, 4-story mixed-use building at 248 Ocean Avenue in Mission Terrace, constructed in 2012, replaced a single-family residence and includes 5 residential units plus ground-floor commercial space. The building was constructed with comprehensive safety features including a complete fire sprinkler system (158 heads) and a new manual fire alarm system with smoke detectors and pull stations, both installed in 2012 at considerable costs ($81,400 and $12,500 respectively).

The building underwent significant interior work in early 2012, including the full electrical installation of lighting and receptacles in all units (#101-#401), installation of 4 furnaces, and complete plumbing work for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility systems. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between October 2024 and December 2024, though most could not be validated by responding officers. Two building complaints were filed in October 2011 regarding unauthorized property line encroachment and removal of a tree, though these cases were marked as not active.

The building suffered two minor incidents: one involving a malfunctioning smoke detector and another involving elevator rescue, neither resulting in injuries. Recent maintenance issues include two instances of garbage and debris requiring removal from the street area (October and December 2024). The building's construction history shows thorough attention to safety systems, with permits and inspections documenting the installation of modern safety features required for multi-family residential buildings.
