542-544 43rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

This two-unit residential building, located at 542-544 43rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1947 and is currently owned by Tiffany Fong. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 when a bathroom remodel was completed on the top level at a cost of $25,000, including new hardwood floors, plumbing fixtures, and electrical work. In 2007, substantial renovations were performed on both the second and third floors, including kitchen and bathroom remodels with a total investment of $29,000, accompanied by both plumbing and electrical upgrades.

A critical safety issue was addressed in 2003 when building violations were filed regarding rotted rear stairs, leaking windows, and loose stucco on the front wall; these violations were resolved by 2006 through various improvements including window replacements, stair repairs, and stucco work. The building's electrical system was upgraded in 2006 to support two 100-amp services, ensuring proper electrical capacity for both units. More recent maintenance records show occasional exterior issues, including two instances of non-offensive graffiti on utility poles in 2017 and 2019, both of which were resolved.

The property's maintenance history indicates regular updates and repairs, with particular attention paid to essential systems and living spaces. Major works have included the removal of decorative balcony elements in 2005, window replacements (four in front, five at the back) in 2005, and various bathroom and kitchen renovations across both units. While the building experienced serious safety concerns in 2003 with the rear stairs, these were promptly addressed through appropriate remediation. The most recent building permit activity suggests continued maintenance and upgrading of living spaces, though the 2017 bathroom remodel permit is currently listed as expired.
