731-733 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 731-733 South Van Ness Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Dlf Family Trust, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant maintenance projects in recent years. Most notably, in 2018, the building underwent substantial facade work with brick repairs and repointing at the second level, along with a complete roof replacement, with these improvements totaling $20,000.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, with five documented activation incidents between 2006 and 2016, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. In January 2006, the building received three fire safety violations related to the fire escape/ladders, fire systems certification, and alarm maintenance, all of which were subsequently closed. The property has a history of safety-related compliance issues, including a 2003 case requiring the installation of handrails and guardrails, which was resolved by January 2005.

More recently, in December 2019, there was a complaint about overgrown vegetation in the front yard that was marked as not active. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced multiple urban challenges, with nine 311 calls documented between December 2024 and January 2025, primarily related to encampments, illegal parking, and debris, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The building's maintenance history, particularly the significant 2018 facade and roof work, suggests active management of the property's structural elements, while the resolution of historical violations indicates attention to safety compliance requirements.
