538-540 43rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 538-540 43rd Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1947 and currently owned by the Lance Lo Revocable Trust 2018, this flats/duplex-style building has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable incidents over the years. The most serious incident occurred in September 2013 when the garage area sustained substantial damage from an automobile collision, including damage to the garage door, surrounding stucco, and structural elements, which required emergency repairs and became the subject of multiple violation notices.

These issues were eventually resolved by November 2013 through proper permits and repairs costing approximately $10,000. The building has undergone several substantial improvements to its living spaces, including a significant ground floor renovation in 2001 that added a playroom, social room, and half bathroom, along with kitchen remodeling work. Subsequent kitchen renovations were completed in 2008, including cabinet replacement, floor retiling, and associated plumbing and electrical work.

More recent maintenance issues have been relatively minor, with the most recent complaint in February 2022 regarding a kitchen leak and hallway lighting, though this complaint is listed as not active. A high water bill complaint was noted in 2006, which was promptly addressed the same day, and there was one 311 call in 2015 regarding hazardous materials on the street, though this was not directly related to the building itself. The property's overall record suggests regular maintenance and prompt addressing of violations when they occur, with no active violations or major structural issues reported in recent years.
