220-224 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit residential building at 220-224 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, constructed in 1909, is currently undergoing extensive renovations under the ownership of the John D Yohanan Revocable Trust. The most significant recent work began in 2024, addressing multiple units with substantial upgrades including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels, exterior improvements (siding replacement, painting, and window upgrades), and comprehensive system overhauls. This includes plumbing upgrades with new fixtures and mechanical systems, electrical improvements with new lighting and appliance installations, and HVAC upgrades with new heating units and ducting throughout the triplex.

The renovations follow a 2023 building violation regarding lead paint concerns, which prompted mandatory updates to comply with safety regulations. The property has a history of compliance addressing various violations from 2002, including fire safety and security requirements, though these were all resolved by August 2002. The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance and upgrades over the years, with significant work performed in 2003 (reroofing), the late 1990s (kitchen remodels), and the current extensive renovation project valued at approximately $650,000.

The approved plans for 2024 include maintaining unit layouts while improving living conditions through modernized facilities and improved energy efficiency, including replacements of outdated windows with energy-efficient versions (max. 0.3 u-value). The current work is being carefully overseen to ensure compliance with all building codes and safety requirements, with multiple permits issued in 2024 covering various aspects of the renovation project, indicating a comprehensive approach to updating the historical building while addressing all identified issues.
