268-270 Capitol Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The four-story multi-family residential building at 268-270 Capitol Ave in Oceanview, owned by Lam Gilbert W, was constructed in 2016 and contains two units. The building's permit history shows significant attention to fire safety infrastructure during its early years, with the installation of a comprehensive sprinkler system throughout the building including 62 sprinkler heads and new fire service components, followed by a sprinkler monitoring system with advanced features such as water flow and tamper monitoring devices.

While the building's construction and initial systems installation phase appears to have been thorough, with multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work properly completed or renewed, there is currently a concerning issue with the building's immediate surroundings as evidenced by a recent 311 call in December 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk. The property has experienced a series of maintenance and public space issues in recent months, including multiple reports of illegal parking on sidewalks, garbage and debris problems, and an environmental health complaint, though most of these cases were resolved or closed by various city agencies. The building's construction phase in 2015-2016 included several street space permits and the installation of essential safety systems, with some permits being reissued as required.

The most recent significant building systems work appears to have been completed in 2016 with the installation of furnace flues and various permit renewals. The 311 call history from late 2024 indicates ongoing challenges with the building's immediate environment, particularly regarding street maintenance and parking issues, though these external factors don't directly reflect on the building's internal systems or habitability. The property's permit records suggest proper attention to safety systems during construction, while the recent 311 calls primarily relate to external municipal service issues rather than building-specific concerns.
