257 Miramar Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 257 Miramar Avenue in Ingleside, owned by Joyce Nguyen, has a complex history spanning several decades since its construction in 1906. The property has faced multiple regulatory challenges, most notably a significant series of violations in 2019-2020 related to unauthorized modifications and maintenance issues, including an unpermitted water heater installation and problems with the rear wooden stairway. These violations were eventually resolved through proper permits and repairs, including a $1,000 stair repair in late 2019 and water heater compliance work.

Earlier compliance issues are documented, including a 2000 violation concerning occupancy status and unauthorized modifications, though these were addressed through various permits including a significant $20,000 permit in 2001 intended to return the building to its legal use as 2 dwelling units plus 3 guest rooms. The building has undergone several major maintenance projects over the years, including multiple roofing projects (1991 and 2010), bathroom modifications in 2003, and various interior improvements. Recent years (2023-2024) have seen recurring issues with garbage/debris and toter management in the vicinity of the building, as documented in multiple 311 calls.

While there have been some fire safety concerns noted in the past regarding blocked exits and vegetation maintenance, these issues were promptly corrected according to fire department records. The property has faced minimal regulatory scrutiny since the resolution of the 2019-2020 violations, though there are ongoing maintenance issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls. Electric and plumbing systems have received attention through proper permits, including electrical work in 2003 and plumbing updates related to the 2019 violations.
