2554-2556 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2554-2556 San Bruno Avenue, owned by Siu/wan Fmly Tr, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple issues since its construction in 1931. Most recently, there are active concerns as of October 2024 regarding tilting walls and windows, and a recurring issue with heating systems dating back to 1998 remains unresolved.

In 2023, the property initiated the process to legalize two previously unpermitted units as ADUs, while a mandatory soft-story retrofit was completed in 2022 at a cost of $80,000 to improve seismic safety. The building has a documented history of violations from 2006 that included interior surface problems, electrical issues, inadequate heating, and pest control concerns, all of which were abated by October 2006.

Several infrastructure improvements were made during the early 2000s, including electrical upgrades, boiler removal in 2011, and various unit renovations. Recent fire safety concerns were noted in 2024 and 2022 regarding alarm systems, with a violation issued in February 2024, though no significant fire incidents resulting in injuries have been recorded. The property has shown ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris, and a recent sewer vent cover issue in December 2023 that was resolved.
