2246-2248 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 2246-2248 Mission Street building is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1978, currently owned by the Yan-sin Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various safety-related issues over the years. Most recently, in September 2023, accessibility improvements were initiated to comply with Ordinance 51-16, including the installation of automatic door operators and ramps, with work currently valued at $10,000.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints related to fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, and smoke detector installations between 2004 and 2015. Recent fire safety issues include a December 2023 violation related to sleeping area requirements and a December 2024 alarm system complaint, though both were promptly addressed. The property has demonstrated a pattern of addressing maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for reroofing work (1997 and 2007) and sidewalk repairs (2004).

However, there have been periods of concentrated violation activity, particularly in 2007 and 2019, when multiple safety concerns were documented, ranging from blocked exit doors to combustible storage problems. Recent inspections have shown improved compliance, though several 311 calls from late 2024 related to graffiti, sidewalk cleaning, and noise issues remain open. The building's history includes routine housing inspections in 2004, 2008, and 2015, all of which had their violations abated. While fire incidents at the property have been minimal and mostly involved false alarms or system malfunctions, the building's fire safety systems have required regular attention, as indicated by multiple fire violation records between 2007 and 2019.
