247 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 247 17th Avenue in the Central Richmond district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Michael A. Su.

The building underwent significant changes when a major renovation project was proposed in 2015, which included horizontal and vertical additions with extensive interior modifications, though this particular permit was ultimately cancelled. Earlier building history shows the structure experienced fire damage in 1991 requiring repairs, and there were attempts in 1989 to demolish the existing single-family dwelling and construct a two-family dwelling, though those permits were cancelled. Recent incidents at the property have primarily involved parking-related complaints, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks and blocking driveways throughout 2023 and 2024, leading to several citations being issued.

The most concerning recent issue was a sewage back-up incident from the side sewer vent in November 2024, which was resolved by field personnel. The building's history includes a reroof project from 1996, though this permit has expired. Planning records from the property indicate various proposals over the years, including a major alteration project that aimed to convert the existing structure into a two-unit building with modern amenities, parking spaces, and bicycle storage, though the extent of these improvements as suggested in the permits is not entirely clear in the current building's status.
