331-333 Capitol Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 331-333 Capitol Avenue in Oceanview, owned by Brooks Meliney E, has undergone significant recent improvements since 2021, including major renovations in 2021 to convert a den into a family room, add storage space, modify bathroom layouts, and remodel the kitchen. 2023 saw comprehensive upgrades including new insulation, drywall replacement, electrical rewiring, and HVAC system improvements with new furnaces and ductwork installation.

The building received a notable renovation in March 2024 involving the replacement of exterior rear stairs, and subsequent permit activity suggests ongoing improvements, including a mini-split system replacement. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple code violations recorded between 2018 and 2024, most recently in October 2024 for concerns including blocked doors, exit pathways, and sprinkler maintenance. The building's fire alarm systems have also been a recurring concern, with several complaints in 2021-2024.

While many violations have been addressed and abated, the repeated nature of fire code issues suggests ongoing monitoring of safety systems. The building's recent improvement history indicates active maintenance and upgrade efforts by the current ownership, though the frequency of fire-related complaints warrants attention. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls in early 2025, primarily related to street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself.
