241-243 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The four-unit residential building at 241 4th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Fung Gee & Katherine Revoc, is undergoing significant renovations in 2024. Built in 1910 as a two-story flats and duplex structure, the property has had substantial recent investments including a voluntary seismic upgrade (costing $11,000), a major remodel of two apartments (costing $716,959) to update kitchens and bathrooms, and conversion of storage space to habitable areas.

The building is also receiving comprehensive infrastructure improvements, including the installation of two new high-efficiency gas furnaces, water heaters, and extensive electrical upgrades featuring new lighting, outlets, and a sub-panel installation. These improvements are being undertaken with proper permits and suggest a focused effort to modernize the building's systems and enhance safety. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, with multiple complaints about driveway blockages between 2020 and 2024, though most of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles.

Additionally, there have been two tenant buyouts recorded, with one tenant receiving $25,000 to vacate unit 243 in August 2023. While the building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems like roofing (see permits from 1993 and 1997), the current extensive renovation work indicates proactive property management and investment in the building's future. The property's recent plumbing and electrical upgrades, scheduled for completion in 2024, demonstrate compliance with current building codes and standards, though the scope of work suggests temporary disruptions to resident amenities during construction.
