574 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 574 38th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, owned by Yee Thomas & Fong Paula Pui, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance issues since its construction in 1958. The most recent major renovation occurred in 2020, involving a complete interior kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #2, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $35,000. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues promptly, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple building violations in 2014 related to roof drainage problems, and earlier fire safety concerns in 2003 which included fire escape maintenance, smoke detector installation, and fire extinguisher servicing.

Structural modifications took place in 2010, including the upgrade of a study room and mezzanine conversion to a bedroom with additional bathroom facilities, though this work initially raised concerns about neighboring building support as documented in a subsequent complaint. The property has experienced various maintenance and repair works over the years, including crack repairs in 2010 and roofing work in 1992. Recent activity around the building has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations for driveway blocking occurring between 2023 and 2025.

There have been several reports of sidewalk maintenance needs and waste management concerns in the surrounding area, particularly in 2024. A gas leak incident was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and more substantial renovations, with all major violation complaints having been resolved, though some work permits have expired.
