822-824 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 822-824 Central Avenue, owned by Maxine V Hickman, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Recent major work includes 2021 hallway/breezeway height clearance improvements with concrete and drainage installation, and stair improvements from street to basement, which involved installing handrails on both sides, modifying the bottom landing, and installing new doors.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance and upgrades, including a kitchen remodel in 2005 (with associated electrical work), repair of dry rot damage in 1999, and fire damage repairs in 1990. A notable incident occurred in 2009 when an unpermitted in-law unit construction was reported, though this complaint was abated within a month. The property has faced various maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, as evidenced by several 311 calls between 2022 and 2025, including reports of mold and mildew (2024), multiple issues with fallen trees (2023, 2024), and sidewalk parking violations.

The most recent building-related concerns include multiple reports of garbage and debris (2024) and a building inspection request (2024). Planning records indicate successful legalization of lot subdivision and approval of various improvements, demonstrating compliance with city regulations. While the building has a history of various repairs and improvements, recent years have shown recurring maintenance issues that may affect resident experience, though many complaints have been addressed through proper channels.
