215-217 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 215-217 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Mina Choo and Minsik Pak. The building underwent extensive renovations in 2019, with major improvements including the addition of bathrooms in both units, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the installation of skylights, totaling over $190,000 in improvements. The garage level received significant upgrades, transforming the space into offices with a half bath and laundry/storage area, followed by comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades for both units, including new subpanels, smoke detectors, and various appliances.

Prior to these improvements, the building had experienced several issues, including a heating system complaint in 2013 regarding dust and mold problems, and a history of unauthorized modifications in 2007-2012, which led to a violation that was subsequently abated. In terms of maintenance and infrastructure, the building's electrical and plumbing systems received substantial upgrades in 2019, including new furnaces and comprehensive electrical improvements with over 70 new fixtures installed. An exterior issue was addressed in 2008 with the repair of dryrot on exterior stairs. More recently, there has been a pattern of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans recorded between December 2024 and January 2025, though these were street-level issues not directly related to the building's maintenance.

The property currently has no active violations or complaints on record, and the extensive renovations completed in 2019 represent a significant modernization of both units. The building's recent history shows a commitment to proper permitting and improvements, with no current active violations or complaints. The 2019 renovations addressed many past issues, including the heating system concerns, and brought the building up to current standards for both units. The property has maintained compliance with city regulations since the resolution of the 2007-2012 complaints regarding unauthorized modifications, and recent records show no significant resident experience or safety concerns.
