483-485 35th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 483-485 35th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Peter P Zhang. The building's history reveals several significant modifications and compliance issues, most notably a 2009 incident where an unauthorized unit was discovered behind the garage, containing two bedrooms, a main room with kitchen, and a bathroom.

This violation triggered official enforcement action through NOV #200915502, which was resolved by early 2010 after the unit was legalized for occupancy with appropriate modifications, including kitchen improvements and electrical upgrades, though this incident marked the second documented occurrence of unauthorized unit concerns, following a 1996 complaint about alleged illegal construction with insufficient fire safety measures between the garage and a purported third unit. The building has undergone various approved improvements over the years, including a bathroom remodel at unit 485 in 2001, reroofing work in 1992, and the legalization of a workshop and storage room in 1990.

Recent history shows relatively minor neighborhood issues, primarily consisting of two sidewalk parking violations in 2018-2019, which were addressed by parking enforcement, and a public works service request in 2018 that was completed by Recology. The property's maintenance record indicates regular upkeep through permitted improvements, though the multiple instances of unauthorized unit conversion attempts suggest attention to proper permit processes would be prudent for prospective residents.
