170-172 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 170-172 10th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Titanium Capital Investment. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple code compliance challenges over the years. The most recent major work occurred in 2019-2021, including a front facade material change from stucco to siding, new radiant heat systems for both units, and extensive electrical and plumbing updates throughout the building, including the remodeling of 4.5 baths and 2 kitchens.

The project also included safety improvements such as the installation of a new fire sprinkler system. Historical records indicate several concerning issues between 2006 and 2015, including multiple building code violations related to unpermitted work, improper gas piping installations, and inadequate plumbing systems. There were reports of unauthorized dwelling units, construction work without proper permits, and safety concerns regarding temporary shoring and foundation work. Notably, a 2017 complaint indicated the building had been under construction for five years with reports of unauthorized occupancy.

The property has since completed substantial renovations, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for electrical systems, plumbing upgrades, and safety improvements, though some permits from 2018-2020 were initially filed as "Expired" or "Filed." Recent building records show improved compliance with building codes and proper permit usage, with all major systems receiving updates including new electrical systems with extensive fixture installations, comprehensive plumbing renovations, and the establishment of proper fire safety systems. The property has undergone various inspections and permit renewals between 2018-2021, with the most recent major works focusing on building systems modernization and safety improvements. A fire incident was recorded involving detector activation with no actual fire or civilian injuries. While historical complaints and violations indicate previous management challenges, recent permit activity suggests significant investment in building improvements and system upgrades, though some minor permits from 2018-2020 show initial filing issues.
