551-553 33rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The duplex property at 551-553 33rd Avenue in the Outer Richmond district is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1979, currently owned by William M. and Beatrice T. Yuen.

The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major work being a furnace replacement in August 2018. In 2010, substantial renovations were completed in unit 553's penthouse, including a bathroom remodel and bar area upgrades, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $13,000. Earlier improvements from 2009-2010 involved various maintenance and upgrades, including vinyl siding installation, dry rot repair, re-roofing, and comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling in both units, totaling over $40,000 in improvements. The property has maintained relatively good structural conditions, as indicated by the nature of the permits issued.

Recent activity regarding the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021-2024 regarding vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. There have also been occasional issues with street cleanliness, including reports of overflowing garbage cans and loose garbage, which were promptly addressed by city services. A sidewalk defect was reported and resolved in April 2017, though this appears to be a separate infrastructure issue rather than a building concern. All building permits and improvements have been properly completed, suggesting regular maintenance and attention to building standards by the current owners.
