252-254 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 252-254 26th Avenue, located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood and owned by Richard Tong and Swartzbaugh, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1907. Most notably, in 2017, substantial improvements were made including bathroom remodeling, kitchen countertop updates ($25,000 total), along with plumbing work for an ice maker line, gas line for stove, and washing machine installation.

The building has addressed various maintenance issues over the years, such as stair repairs in 2011 (both a $3,000 original permit and a $1,000 revision to address dry rot), and historical window upgrades including a cancelled 2009 permit for vinyl window installation and a completed 1990 permit for aluminum window installation. A significant maintenance matter occurred in 2002 involving water damage issues between neighboring properties, though this was resolved within two months.

Recent infrastructure updates include the replacement of a gas water heater in 2022, and the building's systems have generally been well-maintained, with no active building violations on record since 2002. Outside the building itself, there has been a notable pattern of abandoned vehicle complaints on the street, with multiple reports between 2019 and 2023, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.
