223-225 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential property at 223-225 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Kwan Edmund Y. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications and uses.

Most notably, in July 2023, a complaint was filed regarding possible illegal short-term rental use of unit 225, which was reportedly being rented as an unhosted short-term rental for over 90 days per year despite not being the owner's primary residence. This followed multiple complaints in 2018 about potential illegal units, including allegations of an unauthorized third unit added to the streetside bottom floor near the garage. The building's maintenance history shows some legitimate improvements, including a reroofing project in 1997 and ground floor living space alterations completed in 1990, along with a curtain wall repair in 1988, though these permits have since expired.

The property has generated numerous 311 calls in the past two years, with significant activity in 2023-2024 primarily related to parking issues, including multiple complaints about driveway blocking incidents. There have also been several reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity, with items including furniture and a mattress needing removal. While most of these external issues have been resolved, they indicate ongoing challenges with both property maintenance and compliance with residential use regulations.
