205 16th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118
This three-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building located at 205 16th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1924 and has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. The property has been actively undergoing unit improvements since 2023, with ongoing work in units 4, 8, and 15 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, washer/dryer installations, and various electrical upgrades. Notably, there have been recent concerns regarding unauthorized construction work in the garage area, with complaints filed in September and October 2023 regarding reduced parking space and unpermitted ADU construction.
The building has a documented history of addressing safety and structural concerns, having completed a seismic retrofit in 2014 as part of San Francisco's soft-story program, and has undergone various maintenance work including garage and balcony repairs in 2020. Recent fire safety inspections in October 2024 resulted in the correction of issues with fire extinguishers and alarm systems. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a heating system outage in March 2022 that required multiple tenant complaints to resolve.
Additionally, there has been a pattern of garbage and debris issues in recent months, with multiple 311 calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans in January 2025, though these appear to be related to street cleaning rather than building management. The building's records show attention to compliance issues, with most violations being addressed within reasonable timeframes. However, there was one tenant buyout recorded in August 2022 for $11,156.08. The most significant ongoing concern appears to be the garage space issues reported by tenants in late 2023, which are now documented in two separate complaints.
