538-540 36th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 538-540 36th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Chalak Family Trust, was constructed in 1983 following demolition and new construction permits, with an original cost associated with these permits not specified. A notable event occurred in 1997 when a complaint was filed regarding an illegal unit in the building, though this issue was quickly abated within two weeks.

In 2017, the property underwent official legalization of an existing residential unit under Ordinance 43-14, with records showing Patrick Mora Architects involved in this process. The building has had minimal maintenance history, with a reroofing project initiated in 2003 (permit status now expired) and a fire alarm system issue addressed and corrected within a week in late 2021.

The most significant recent activity at the property has been related to multiple incidents of driveway blocking, with eight separate enforcement actions taken between August 2023 and May 2024, resulting in several citations being issued and some cases requiring specific interventions. These parking-related issues, while not directly impacting building safety or habitability, represent an ongoing challenge for access to the property. The building's documented history shows generally good maintenance and compliance with housing regulations, with no active code violations or serious safety concerns on record as of October 2023.
