48-50 Manzanita Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 48-50 Manzanita Avenue, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1950 and currently owned by Peter Bittat Tong. The building underwent significant renovations between 2005 and 2008, including the installation of new windows, electrical systems, and heating units, along with substantial interior modifications to unit #48.

Of particular note are some serious compliance issues that arose during the renovation period in 2006, when construction proceeded without required approvals and inspections, leading to two building violations related to unapproved framing and insulation work. These violations were eventually abated by March 30, 2006, following enforcement actions. The renovation work included the installation of multiple electrical circuits, window replacements, and the construction of walls to separate laundry facilities, with various permits being properly processed and completed, though some did expire before final inspection.

More recently, there was a sidewalk defect reported in March 2020, involving a collapsed section that was determined to be caused by a damaged utility vault frame, which was subsequently resolved by AT&T. The building has not had any active violations or complaints since 2008, and all major renovation work appears to have been completed, including the installation of modern amenities such as garage door openers, new electrical service, and improved HVAC systems. The extensive renovation work performed during the 2005-2008 period included comprehensive upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and heating systems, as well as major interior reconfigurations, suggesting that the building received substantial modernization during this period while also experiencing significant regulatory oversight that required resolution before project completion.
