4645 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 4645 17th Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, has undergone several notable improvements and faced some recent challenges. Most significantly, in February 2024, permits were issued for replacing 16 street-facing windows with wood aluminum-clad windows ($64,400 project cost), demonstrating the owners' commitment to building maintenance. The property has seen various upgrades over its history, including alum siding installation on the rear wall in 1996 and reroofing in 1989.

Recent issues have primarily centered around the building's surroundings rather than structural concerns. There was one complaint about a tree blocking a window (filed August 2024), though this was noted as "not active." The property has experienced several municipal service calls in 2024, including reports of street defects (regarding planned pavement renovation work), parking enforcement issues, and a sector-wide graffiti incident. Of particular note, in August 2024, there were complaints about broken or defective doors/windows and construction noise, though the resolution statuses indicate these issues were transferred to appropriate departments for handling.

The building's permit and service call history shows regular maintenance and compliance with city requirements, with no records of major safety incidents or fire-related events. The most recent major improvement, the window replacement project, was approved with specific requirements for SDL (Simulated Divided Lights) to match existing patterns, indicating attention to preserving the building's architectural character. The property has had minimal maintenance issues over its lifetime, with the most recent concerns being typical for urban residential buildings and primarily related to street-related infrastructure rather than the building itself.
