2401 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94127

2401 Ocean Avenue is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in the Ingleside Terrace neighborhood, built in 1923 and currently owned by Kenneth A & Noelle M Bianch. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work including reroofing projects completed in 1990 and 2005 (costing $9,450), exterior landing slab and handrail replacement in 1993, and termite repair in 1991. The property has experienced several fire-related incidents, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage - these include multiple false alarms, smoke detector activations, and one recorded building fire with unintentional ignition.

Historical fire complaints from 2016 indicated issues with weeds, grass, combustible materials, and one unidentified violation, though most were resolved promptly. More recent concerns primarily involve structural and safety violations recorded between 2023-2024 at an adjacent address (105-139 Aptos Ave), including issues with emergency lighting, sprinkler system maintenance, exit path obstructions, and electrical conditions, all referred for hearing. The building has a documented history of pest infestation with termite treatment in 1991 and various repair works throughout the years.

A notable tenant buyout occurred in October 2023 at a nearby address (60 Mercedes Way) with 2 tenants receiving $27,645. Recent municipal service requests from January 2025 indicate several ongoing local issues, including garbage overflow, street light problems, pavement defects, and street cleaning concerns, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained basic safety systems, with multiple fire alarm system activations primarily linked to malfunctions or false alarms rather than genuine emergencies. Regular maintenance work, including roofing and structural repairs, suggests ongoing attention to building upkeep, though the frequency of fire-related activations and recent violations at the nearby address raise some concerns about overarching building systems and safety compliance in the immediate vicinity.
