532 40th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 532 40th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Esther Teng, has experienced several notable infrastructure issues over the past few years, particularly concerning the sidewalk. Most recently in March 2023, there were three separate reports of sidewalk defects and a curb issue, with at least two of the sidewalk problems being specifically identified as collapses, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building's exterior received attention in 2019 when extensive work was completed on the siding of both units (532-534), at a cost of $35,000. Historical records show the two-story flats/duplex structure was built in 1988 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling in 1986. The property has experienced recurring sidewalk issues, with similar problems documented in April 2016 when inspectors found approximately 100 square feet of damaged or uneven sidewalk.

The surrounding area has seen various municipal service calls, including several parking enforcement requests between 2022-2023 for vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. Other minor issues included a 2016 report about garbage receptacles being left out (which was investigated with no visible evidence found) and an abandoned vehicle complaint that was resolved when the car was no longer present during inspection. The building itself has not had any significant internal issues reported through the 311 system, though the recurring sidewalk problems suggest an ongoing challenge in the immediate vicinity.
