174-176 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 174-176 9th Avenue, located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908 and currently owned by Eureka 2000 Revoc Tr. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent and substantial renovation occurring in 2016, involving comprehensive updates to the kitchen and bathroom facilities (valued at $31,000), including new fixtures, tiles, and cabinets.

This renovation was accompanied by associated plumbing and electrical work, including the installation of a gas fireplace, various new plumbing fixtures, and modern electrical components such as lights, switches, and appliances. Earlier structural improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2009, and important seismic safety upgrades in 1991 involving the installation of foundation bolts and shear ply on existing walls.

The building has a history of attempted expansions in 1993, with both horizontal and vertical addition permits being applied for, though one permit expired while the final outcome is unclear in the records. The property has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including a sewage backup incident in 2015 that was resolved, and recent urban challenges such as graffiti (2018), illegal postings (2021), and tree damage (2022), though these are primarily external to the building itself. The most pressing building-related work appears to have been adequately addressed through the permitted renovations, with no recorded building code violations or safety concerns in recent years.
