2685-2687 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 2685-2687 San Jose Ave in the Oceanview neighborhood, owned by John Ordono, was constructed in 1972 and has experienced several significant issues over its recent history. Most notably, there are active building violations from 2012 that remain unresolved as of 2023, including problems with weather proofing on exterior walls, damaged interior surfaces, combustible storage concerns, and issues with the exterior stairs.

These violations followed a documented complaint regarding a minor fire incident in October 2012 when the landlord reportedly had difficulty with the fire sprinklers and plumbing issues that required carpet removal. While some improvements have been made, including window replacements in 2018 and sewer line repairs in 2016, the building's condition has remained a concern. The property history also shows periodic attention to fire safety, with two combustible materials complaints in 2009 and 2010 that were resolved, though there is a record of a fire incident classified as "other" with unintentional ignition in the fire incident data.

Earlier building improvements included completed roofing work in 1991 and an expired fire sprinkler installation permit from 1984. The most recent activity around the property suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024/early 2025 regarding sidewalk cleaning, pavement defects, and garbage and debris issues. The building was previously considered for use as a residential care facility for 10 persons under RH-2 zoning, with both closed and approved planning records indicating this intent.
