6909-6911 California St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 6909-6911 California Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by James B Yin Separate Property. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2019, when a $90,000 project was completed that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and lighting replacement throughout. This renovation was accompanied by appropriate plumbing and electrical permits, demonstrating proper compliance with building codes.

Earlier improvements included a $9,000 reroofing project in 2008 and a sewer repair/replacement in 2007, indicating attention to basic infrastructure maintenance. The property has a documented history of various improvement attempts in the early 1980s, including proposals for basement modifications and correction of violations, though some of these permits were either withdrawn or expired. More recent history shows multiple 311 calls related to street conditions and parking issues around the building, with eight such calls recorded between 2022 and 2024.

While most of these cases were resolved relatively quickly, including citations for illegal parking and reports of debris, the nature of these calls primarily relates to the public right-of-way rather than the building's structural or procedural compliance. Two calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris were particularly notable, though these appeared to be external to the building itself and were resolved by city services. The most recent building improvements and plumbing maintenance work suggest that while the building has experienced typical urban challenges related to its location, its major systems have received appropriate attention and upgrading in recent years.
