353-355 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 353-355 14th Avenue is a two-unit residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Maria P Shirar Revocable Trust and originally constructed in 1912 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building is currently undergoing extensive renovations, with multiple active permits issued in 2023-2024 showing substantial interior and exterior improvements across all floors. Recent work includes comprehensive remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms on the second and third floors, addition of new bathrooms, installation of a roof deck on the fourth floor, and significant structural modifications including lowering the ground floor slab and adding skylights.

The project also involves modern upgrades such as installing tankless water heaters, a roof heat pump, and kitchen hoods, with total permitted costs exceeding $400,000. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, including a complete reroofing project in 2011 (completed) and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. While there have been several 311 calls related to the property and its vicinity between 2018-2024, most of these were for street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns.

These external calls included reports of general cleaning needs, graffiti, and one parking enforcement issue, all of which were resolved by the respective agencies. The extensive renovation work currently in progress suggests the property is being upgraded to modern standards with improved amenities, though some ongoing construction activity may temporarily affect resident comfort. The planning records indicate that the proposed improvements have received necessary approvals, including the addition of a new roof deck and various interior modifications.
