174 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 174 10th Avenue, owned by Gray Makoto, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907 in The Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most pressing concerns emerging recently in 2023.

Currently, there are active violations regarding multiple unauthorized backyard structures built without proper permits, including sheds measuring approximately 6, 12, 45, and 100 square feet, with the largest structure exceeding 8 feet in height. These structures have been reported to violate setback requirements and have reportedly contributed to rodent infestations and public health concerns, including unsafe food conditions related to plant material distribution (complaint #202315038 from October 2023). The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2017 costing $17,730, and a 2014 project involving pressurized grouting at the northerly property line.

Historical records show a 2000 permit aimed at removing an illegal kitchen on the second floor, while several complaints from that same year highlighted various maintenance and safety concerns, including plumbing issues, electrical problems, and possible lead paint concerns - though these earlier complaints have since been resolved. More recent interactions with city agencies include a 2008 sewage backup issue, a front gate/fence height compliance review currently under investigation, and the previously mentioned violations related to unauthorized backyard structures. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent concerns primarily focused on unauthorized modifications to the property and emerging health and safety issues related to those structures.
