158-160 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building at 158-160 8th Avenue in the Lake--The Presidio neighborhood, owned by Rhett and Karin Woods, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. The most recent work involved the installation of a wet bar sink and jacuzzi power on the roof in early 2023, with the final inspection completed in August 2023. The building underwent a comprehensive upgrade in 2015-2016, including a complete electrical rewiring, new water heaters, HVAC system relocation, and multiple kitchen remodels.

There were prior roof deck-related controversies, including an unpermitted windscreen that was subsequently removed, and building permit issues in 2021-2023 that involved canopy, lighting, and electrical work including a hot tub installation. The property has faced some regulatory scrutiny, with complaints filed in 2015 regarding improper notification for roof deck work, and in 2016 concerning an alleged unpermitted dwelling unit merger. Both complaints were ultimately closed without violations.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including plumbing and electrical infrastructure, and the most recent major work involved the roof area. Historical records show a tenant buyout at a neighboring property (154 8th Avenue) in 2020 for $45,000. Parking enforcement records between 2019-2022 indicate recurring issues with blocked driveways, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.
