536-538 28th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 536-538 28th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1908 and currently owned by Yee Kam Yuen, the building underwent significant renovations in 2007-2008, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system ($16,000) and major plumbing work to accommodate three units with seven bathrooms, three kitchens, furnaces, water heaters, and laundry facilities ($10,000). During this renovation period, the building's electrical infrastructure was also upgraded with 80 lights, 95 switches, and four 120-amp panels.

A notable change was the revision to relocate bathrooms, modify walls and doors, and combine two front decks at the third floor, along with the addition of a decorative fireplace. More recent history includes a fire sprinkler head relocation project in 2018 and a fire-related incident in June 2023 that was determined to have no merit. The building has experienced some parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2022 for various parking violations, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

There was one housing inspection complaint filed in 2010 that was resolved within a month. Planning records show previous proposals for larger development projects at this location, including plans for a new three-family, four-story building and a horizontal rear addition, but these were withdrawn or closed without action. The most recent permit activity involves a revision to legalize a portion of the roof deck, which was approved in 2023. The building's current condition appears stable, with no active building code violations or pending permits needing attention as of October 2023.
