720 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 720 Central Avenue in Park North, owned by Myrna Newcomb, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work since its construction in 1905. Most recently, in 2023, substantial updates were made including kitchen and bathroom renovations in Unit 1, addition of laundry facilities in the garage area, and electrical improvements. The property has seen consistent maintenance of its windows, with replacements completed in 2019 and 2022, showing attention to preserving the building's character.

Structural and safety improvements have been addressed over the years, including foundation work in 2018, rear stair repairs in 2017, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades including furnace replacement in 2020. The building had a notable period of violations in 2003, with multiple fire safety and security issues identified during a routine inspection, including problems with fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and security requirements. However, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by February 2004.

Earlier tenant complaints from the 1990s indicated recurring issues with heat and water damage, though these appear to have been resolved. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with all recent permits either issued or completed successfully, and no active violations or complaints on record in recent years. While there have been occasional 311 calls regarding the property's exterior and surrounding area, these were primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning matters rather than building-specific concerns.
