542 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 542 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1984, currently owned by Susan Fung. The building's permit history shows three primary construction-related activities: a demolition permit issued in February 1984, a wall addition in the basement sub-basement rear completed in July 1984, and a significant window upgrade project in June 2012 that involved replacing aluminum windows with vinyl windows throughout the front and back of the building at a cost of $28,500.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls over the past several years, with the most recent incident occurring in March 2024 involving street defects that required police intervention for safety verification. There has been a notable pattern of sidewalk parking violations in the vicinity, with at least six documented incidents between 2018 and 2022, resulting in several citations.

Other 311 calls have involved general street and sidewalk maintenance issues, including loose garbage removal in July 2019, a public works service request in September 2021, and a damaged side sewer vent cover report in October 2015, though the latter was investigated and determined not to require further action. The building itself appears to have undergone regular maintenance and improvements, with no recorded safety or habitability concerns in the permit or 311 call data.
