4849 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 4851 17th Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, has undergone several significant improvements since 2018 under the ownership of Cassandra Knight Lvg Tr. The property, a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, received substantial upgrades including a $50,000 kitchen and bathroom renovation in early 2018, which involved new cabinets, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and the installation of sound dampening materials including resilient channels and bat insulation. This renovation package also included electrical updates, though the related electrical permit has since expired.

The building's exterior was improved in late 2018 with the installation of four Marvin Ultimate clad wood casement windows, along with any necessary dry rot repairs, at a cost of $25,000. In late 2019, a fireplace was installed as part of the building's enhancements. The property has experienced numerous parking-related incidents in recent years, with multiple documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2021 and 2024, resulting in several citations being issued.

There have also been three reports of abandoned vehicles in the immediate vicinity, though in each case, the vehicles were gone when authorities arrived to investigate. The most recent incidents involved color curb requests and an abandoned vehicle report in September 2024, all of which have been resolved according to city records. The building's maintenance record shows no significant safety violations or major incidents, with all permitted work being completed successfully.
