225-229 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 225-229 San Jose Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Jose Luis Sainz, was constructed in 1904 and has recently undergone significant improvements. Most notably, in early 2024, the building received comprehensive updates including installation of a new furnace and heating system, electrical work for heater controls, and drywall repairs on the third floor, with the renovations properly documented through building, plumbing, and electrical permits totaling approximately $2,500 in costs.

Prior building history shows more substantial repairs were required in 2019 when Unit 227 experienced water damage affecting bathroom and kitchen areas, necessitating $15,000 in renovations including tile replacement and new sheetrock installation. The property has a documented history of regulatory oversight, with multiple routine housing inspections conducted between 2001 and 2017, as well as several building violations recorded in 2003 related to fire safety, sanitation, and building maintenance issues, including concerns about fire escape maintenance, fire proofing, and lead paint hazards.

All these violations were abated by March 17, 2003. Most recent inspection-related activity includes a complaint from November 2024 regarding an allegedly unpermitted heater installation, though this has since been marked as not active. The building's environmental and maintenance record shows typical urban residential issues, with recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily related to exterior matters such as sidewalk cleaning, curb defects, and parking enforcement, rather than building-specific maintenance or safety concerns.
