932-934 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 932-934 Central Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jonathan G Britton. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably in 2022-2023 when two additional dwelling units were successfully added to the ground floor, bringing the total unit count to four. This conversion included comprehensive upgrades such as new kitchens, bathrooms, and associated plumbing work, with a total investment of approximately $84,000.

In parallel, major safety enhancements were implemented including a $30,000 fire sprinkler system installation for the ground floor and new underground fire services, followed by the recent addition of a sprinkler monitoring system in June 2023. The building underwent a voluntary partial seismic upgrade in March 2022 at a cost of $240,000, demonstrating a commitment to structural integrity and resident safety. The property has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including a documented incident of dry rot damage in 2021, where drywall was removed and replaced due to roof and siding leaks.

Historical records show recurring sewer-related issues, with three sewage backup incidents reported between 2009-2019, though these appear to have been resolved through appropriate maintenance. The building's systems have been modernized with a 400-amp electrical upgrade in 2022 and the installation of heating and cooling systems, including heat pumps, in 2022-2023. While the property has experienced various infrastructure challenges typical of its age (including plumbing and electrical system upgrades), recent improvements suggest proactive management and investment in building maintenance and modernization.
