738-740 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 738-740 Central Avenue in the Park North neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Clay Jerome. The most significant recent incident occurred in March 2020, during the shelter-in-place period, when construction-related noise generated complaints from neighbors about workers dropping metal materials and speaking loudly. This activity coincided with the issuance of two street space permits on March 3, 2020.

More recently, between 2023 and 2024, the property has experienced several maintenance and environmental issues including a missing side sewer vent cover (May 2024), multiple reports of loose garbage requiring general cleaning (2023-2024), and two graffiti incidents (January and August 2024). The building's surroundings have also faced challenges, including an open encampment situation reported in May 2023. The property has undergone some permit-related work over its history, including a reroofing project from 1999, though that permit ultimately expired.

The building's documented history includes one fire incident, which was recorded as a false alarm with no civilian injuries. Parking-related issues have been noted, particularly in 2021, when a blocking driveway complaint was responded to but the offending vehicle could not be located. While the property has experienced various maintenance and environmental challenges typical of its urban setting, the records indicate that most reported issues have been addressed through proper channels, with the exception of the open encampment situation from 2023. The majority of recent complaints have been resolved, though some required multiple reports before action was taken.
