2234-2238 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story apartment building at 2234-2238 Mission Street, built in 1907 and containing 5 units, has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, between 2001 and 2003, the building faced multiple violations including problems with interior surfaces, stairs, plumbing, electrical systems, sanitation issues (including pest infestations), and fire safety concerns, though all these violations were eventually abated by May 2003. More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and improvement work, including window upgrades in 2013 (completed), roof replacement in 2016, and sink installations in 2017, indicating efforts to maintain and improve the property.

There have been several notable complaints regarding the Mission Chinese Restaurant on the ground floor, particularly concerning late-night cleaning operations affecting residents, which were officially documented in 2010 and 2018, though these complaints are now marked as resolved. The building has also undergone various infrastructure improvements, such as sewer line repairs in 2010, window replacements, and general maintenance work as evidenced by numerous building permits. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine maintenance and response to minor issues, though there have been multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the property, which were all resolved.

The building has experienced four documented fire alarm activations, all of which were false alarms or unintentional activations with no injuries reported. While the building's history shows periods of significant maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, recent records suggest more proactive property management and fewer serious habitability issues. The current owners, Liang Zhuo Pei & Zhou Shu, have focused on maintaining the building through various improvements and compliance with recent safety standards, though the presence of the ground-floor restaurant has historically generated some tenant concerns regarding operating hours and noise.
