239-245 Brighton Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 239-245 Brighton Avenue property in the Ingleside neighborhood is a two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Sur-miao & Mei-mei Y Tung R. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, with the installation of two fire alarm systems in 2020 (costing $26,000 combined) and a new fire sprinkler system added to the rear ADU unit in December 2019. The property underwent major improvements in 2015-2019, including the legalization of an unauthorized rear dwelling unit, installation of bicycle parking spaces, and addition of street trees, with associated costs exceeding $90,000.

The building has faced several maintenance and safety challenges over the years. In 2015-2019, multiple housing violations were recorded, including issues with mold, plumbing problems, and a kitchen ventilation system that required replacement. More recent concerns include a complaint in August 2021 regarding unpermitted work and an August 2020 complaint about construction in common areas.

Historical records show significant safety concerns from 2009, including electrical hazards with exposed wiring and dangerous gas lines that were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained regular fire and safety improvements, though there was one recorded building fire incident, which was classified as intentional with no civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and garbage issues, which appear to be being managed through regular municipal procedures.
