290 Miramar Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

290 Miramar Avenue is a 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by Hedda Kornfeld Family Lp I. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over the past few years, most notably the recent $28,892 fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, which included the installation of new smoke detectors, manual pulls, horns, and low-frequency sounders. The property completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements.

Other notable improvements include an ADA bathroom remodel in 2017, a $4,500 interior renovation in 2019, and historical upgrades such as window replacements in 2003 and reroofing in 1992. The building has experienced several concerning issues related to its commercial space and safety compliance. There have been multiple complaints about the ground-floor commercial space being used improperly as a residence between 2009 and 2010, though these issues were eventually resolved.

A routine inspection in 2010 revealed multiple violations including lead paint concerns, weatherproofing problems, and issues with combustible storage, all of which were subsequently addressed. More recent concerns have focused on the vacant commercial storefront, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2023 regarding window transparency violations and registration non-compliance. The building has a documented history of fire alarm system activations and various service calls, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily concerned street cleaning and waste management issues, rather than building safety concerns.
