514-516 46th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 514-516 46th Avenue property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Wayman & Christina Wong Family. Built in 1948, this building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with particular attention to safety concerns in recent years.

Most notably, in 2021, a rotted front decorative cantilevered balcony was removed and modified to patch holes, following a serious incident in January 2020 when a balcony railing fell onto a car. This issue had resulted in a building violation that was not abated until July 2023, along with several associated violations regarding window guards and unpermitted window installations in 2006.

The building has seen substantial improvements in its systems and aesthetics, including a 2017 kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #514 ($35,000), reroofing work in 2019 ($11,000), and major plumbing upgrades in 2022 consisting of furnace replacements and relocation of water heaters, washing machines, and dryers. The property has also experienced some maintenance issues over the years, with multiple complaints about garbage receptacle management in 2017, though these were primarily neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific problems. All building violations have been resolved, and recent permits indicate ongoing attention to maintaining the property's systems and features, though prospective tenants should note the building's history of balcony-related safety concerns and the timeframe of recent repairs.
