217-219 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 217-219 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a century-old property owned by Komiyama Mieko, featuring two stories and constructed in 1907. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent work being a complete reroofing project in February 2024 costing $32,800, and a sewer lateral replacement also completed in May 2024.

In 2018, the property underwent substantial window and door upgrades, replacing 20 windows and two doors with energy-efficient alternatives meeting modern standards. Historical records show previous structural challenges in the late 1990s, including termite and dryrot damage repairs in 1996-1998, though these issues appear to have been resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with water heater replacements in 2008 and 2009, though there are no recorded plumbing issues since the 2024 sewer work. While the building has experienced some neighborhood issues, these have primarily been external to the property itself, including various parking enforcement matters and instances of graffiti on nearby infrastructure, all of which were promptly addressed by city services. The property appears to be well-maintained under its current ownership, with significant recent investments in both exterior maintenance and system upgrades, suggesting a proactive approach to building upkeep and modernization.
