278 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 278 17th Avenue, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1916 and currently owned by the Virginia H Pritchard Revocable Trust. The property's maintenance history includes a significant reroofing project completed in 2005 at a cost of $13,500.

The building has experienced several infrastructure issues over the years, with documented incidents of water-related problems including a sewage backup in December 2016 (which was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations) and a water leak in July 2011 (also resolved by PUC Water). A building code violation was reported in January 2012 regarding unauthorized window replacement and improper scaffolding containment, though this issue was abated within days of being filed.

The most recent and concerning event related to the property is an open noise complaint filed in October 2024, indicating excessive noise that remains unresolved. Other historical incidents include a municipal response to an abandoned vehicle (a black Honda) in March 2019, which was closed when the vehicle was no longer present, though this was unrelated to the building's condition or operation. Given the property’s age and the limited number of major repairs on record, it appears to have maintained basic functionality, though the recent noise complaint suggests there may be ongoing resident concerns worth monitoring.
