217 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 217 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Samuel & Myrna Hom Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1959 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant alterations over the past few years, most notably a $45,000 renovation in 2021-2022 involving kitchen reconfigurations, conversion of an existing kitchen to a study room, bathroom remodeling, and window replacements in the living room and bedroom areas.

A contentious incident occurred in May 2022 when an unauthorized kitchen conversion in unit #3 was reported and subsequently resolved within a week. The building experienced a cluster of violations in June 2010 related to ventilation issues, broken windows, and an unauthorized wood utility ladder, all of which were abated by July 13, 2010. The property has maintained regular housing inspections over the years, with records showing routine inspections in 1999, 2004, and the aforementioned 2010 inspection.

Planning records indicate approved changes including the replacement of two street-facing casement windows with aluminum frames. Recent external issues have primarily involved tree maintenance, with reports of overgrown trees blocking sidewalks in both 2019 and 2024, and there was a sewage backup issue reported in January 2015 that was promptly resolved. A reroofing project from 1996 is listed as expired, though it is likely that subsequent roofing maintenance has occurred given the age of the building.
