881 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-unit apartment building at 881 San Jose Avenue in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Assad Immediate Family Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the years. Most recently, in November 2023, proper maintenance work was completed with the siding removal and replacement on one side of the building at a cost of $25,000. The building has undergone two routine inspections in 2001 and 2011, during which multiple fire safety issues were identified.

The 2001 inspection revealed problems with floor coverings, smoke enclosure doors, combustible storage, smoke detector placements, and missing fire extinguishers, all of which were resolved by September 2001. The 2010 inspection noted concerns about missing hardware at smoke enclosure doors, fire sprinkler system compliance, security hardware, and an issue with garbage and recycling receptacles, though a sub-letting violation was also documented during this period; all these matters were eventually addressed by 2011. The building's historical records show consistent attention to regulatory compliance and safety standards, with the property owner completing necessary repairs and improvements as required by housing authorities.

The most recent maintenance work demonstrates ongoing investment in the building's upkeep. Two recent calls to 311 in July 2024 regarding abandoned furniture on the sidewalk were promptly resolved by Recology. A 2019 sewer-related service request was addressed and completed by Public Works. While the building has faced various challenges throughout its history, particularly in the early 2000s and 2010s concerning fire safety and security, these issues were systematically resolved through the appropriate channels, indicating an overall commitment to maintaining housing standards.
