930 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 930 San Jose Ave in Glen Park, owned by David S. Chen and constructed in 1954, has a concerning history of fire safety issues.

Since 2021, there have been multiple documented fire code violations, with the most recent occurring in November 2024 related to alarm system maintenance. Previous fire safety concerns have included problems with fire extinguisher placement, exit obstructions, and corridor wall penetrations, though most of these violations have been subsequently abated. The building underwent significant plumbing work in 2020 with a complete sewer replacement, and there have been several maintenance issues addressed over the years, including a cancelled window replacement project in 2022 and completed stucco repairs in 2018.

The property has experienced two routine apartment inspections in 2009 that identified several security and safety concerns, including the need for self-closing doors, water heater bracing, smoke detectors, and removal of combustible garage storage - all of which were subsequently resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues near the property. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems like roofing (as indicated in 1998 records) and responses to various repair needs, though the ongoing fire safety violations suggest persistent challenges in meeting regulatory requirements in this area.
