175-177 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 175 5th Ave, located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Lucinda S. Wong and Eddy K.

The building is undergoing significant renovation with the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) at the first floor, which includes plans for one bedroom, kitchen, great room, and two full baths, with permits issued in April 2023 and further confirmed by multiple permits in October 2024 for plumbing and electrical work. The building has maintained its structure over the decades, including a completed reroofing project in 1989. The property has experienced parking-related challenges in recent years, with substantial documentation of driveway blocking incidents.

From October 2023 through October 2024, there were at least nine documented cases of vehicles blocking the driveway, with several resulting in citations being issued. The most recent building-related issue was a complaint in 2010 regarding unpermitted construction work in the backyard, though this was resolved within a few months. The current ADU project, which is in progress with multiple permits issued as of October 2024, is being developed in compliance with government regulations (as evidenced by the Planning record), and includes comprehensive updates to the building's infrastructure, including new furnace installations and electrical upgrades.
