146-148 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 146-148 17th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915, currently owned by Harvey & Sabrina Lim. The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues over recent years, most notably concerning the building's exterior.

In July 2024, construction activity began to remove and replace approximately 500 square feet of old stucco at the front of the building, a $25,000 project that prompted a complaint from neighbors about potential health hazards, including concerns about lead paint and breathing difficulties during the work, though this complaint was marked as not active by July 30, 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some periodic upkeep, including a reroofing project from 1991, though that permit is now expired.

The property has experienced two significant sewer-related incidents in recent years, with a sewage back-up discharge from the side sewer vent reported and resolved in January 2025, following a similar sewer-related issue in November 2014 that involved a 4-inch sewer vent. Other minor incidents include parking enforcement calls regarding sidewalk parking (April 2023) and a dumpster blocking a parking space (October 2017), though these were not directly related to the building's condition. The recent stucco replacement project, while generating health and safety concerns, was processed through proper channels with an issued building permit number 202407106148 as of July 2024, and is also reflected in the planning records under the property address.
