530-532 46th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 530-532 46th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1948 and currently owned by Fertig Asano Floy, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant modifications over the years. Most notably, there have been multiple attempts to convert a permitted penthouse space into a studio unit, with the most recent filed permit in February 2020. Previous attempts in October 2019 were withdrawn.

This conversion process has included plans for adding NFPA13 sprinklers and egress improvements. The building has received consistent maintenance and improvements, including vinyl siding installation to the back wall in 2014, Hardi siding installation in 2011, window replacements in 2002, and reroofing in 2000. A significant illegal short-term rental incident was reported and resolved between 2015-2016. Recent activity at the property has been primarily related to routine municipal services, with several 311 calls in 2024 regarding Christmas tree removal and parking issues.

There were also reports of pavement defects in 2022 that affected the roadway, and an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk that required pruning. Two tenant buyouts were recorded at the addresses, with payments of $130,000 to two tenants in February 2021, and $110,000 to two tenants in February 2022 for 532 46th Avenue, suggesting possible unit consolidation or change in occupancy status. A false fire alarm incident was recorded with no civilian injuries. The building's recent history shows active management and maintenance, though the multiple permit attempts for penthouse conversion suggest ongoing development efforts.
