400 Girard St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 400 Girard Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Cheng & Ng Revocable Family Trust. The building has recently undergone significant renovation work following a fire incident in January 2024 that affected the front two rooms of the second floor, causing damage to walls, ceiling, and roof framing.

The fire-related work, initiated in March 2024, includes comprehensive repairs with new insulation and drywall throughout, along with repairs to the interior stairs. Recent improvements also encompass window replacements, bathroom reconfigurations, and electrical updates, with all permits issued and in process as of 2024. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2006 and 2019, including issues with blocked exits, alarm systems, and various safety equipment.

The most recent fire-related violation for sprinkler service from October 2024 remains open as of the latest review. The property has experienced recurring issues with debris and waste management in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls documented between late 2024 and early 2025, though these primarily relate to external areas rather than the building's internal conditions. While the recent renovation work indicates significant investment in building improvements, the property's history shows a persistent pattern of fire safety violations that warrants attention to ongoing safety compliance matters.
