Augrented Insights Report

The property at 509-511 45th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1923 and currently owned by Frederick M. Dodds, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years.

Most notably, in 2017, the property underwent substantial bathroom and electrical upgrades, including the installation of new fixtures, LED lights, exhaust fans, and a comprehensive electrical system improvement that added GFCI protection, new circuits, and smoke detectors. Prior to this, in 2016, the water heater was replaced, and in 2003, the building's dry rotted deck was replaced. The property experienced several concerning incidents related to maintenance and compliance in recent years.

Most recently, in September 2024, multiple building violations were recorded regarding improper lead paint abatement procedures, though these violations were abated by October 2, 2024. In March 2017, there was a complaint about unpermitted construction work, and in October 2011, there was an issue with water damage involving a leaking shower causing problems in multiple units. Historical records also indicate a fire complaint regarding weeds and grass in June 2011, which was promptly corrected. The building has seen numerous reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the property itself.
