200-298 Berry St, San Francisco, CA 94158

The Avalon Mission Bay, located at 200-298 Berry Street, is an 18-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2009 with 260 units, currently managed by Avalonbay Communities Inc. The building underwent significant recent modifications, most notably the conversion of a 3rd-floor social lounge into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in late 2023, with completed work including kitchen, bedroom, living room, and bathroom installations, along with associated sprinkler system modifications in 2024. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, including a hot water outage on the 15th floor reported in May 2024, and elevator accessibility problems in March 2024. There are multiple open fire code violations as of late 2024, including a sleeping area requirement violation and a documentation issue related to testing and maintenance.

The building has a history of boiler permit compliance issues, with multiple citations between 2019 and 2020, though these appear to have been subsequently addressed. The property has maintained its infrastructure with various upgrades, including EV charger installations in the parking garage (most recently in 2022), and has resolved several building violations from 2023-2024. There were also some structural concerns noted in June 2020 regarding building sway, though this complaint was marked as "Not Active." The building's management has actively addressed numerous maintenance and safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of multiple building, plumbing, and electrical permits for various improvements. Recent service requests from 2025 indicate some ongoing challenges with waste management, particularly regarding overflowing city garbage cans, though these are external to the building's systems.

The building has experienced several fire safety inspections and incidents over the years, with most recent violations in late 2024 related to sleeping area requirements and test/maintenance documentation. While there have been multiple false alarm calls and system activations recorded, remarkably, none resulted in civilian injuries. Historical violations related to doors/latches, exit signs, and alarm systems from 2023 have been marked as abated. The property has undergone various commercial space modifications, including a dog daycare facility installation in 2016 and yoga studio improvements in 2014, reflecting its mixed-use nature.
