576-578 24th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 576-578 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Sheung Cheung Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1916. The most recent work, issued in September 2024, involves the installation of Hardie siding on the right and back sides of the building at a cost of $50,000. A major renovation project completed in 2001-2002 added both horizontal and vertical extensions to the structure, converting it from a three-story to a four-story building, and included the installation of a two-car garage.

This project underwent several revisions and encountered a temporary permit suspension in September 2002, which was resolved by October 2002. The building has been retrofitted with modern safety systems, including a comprehensive fire sprinkler system installed in 2002-2003 (with associated electrical work completed) at a cost of $12,000, bringing it up to NFPA-13 standards. Electrical upgrades completed during this period included the installation of 200-amp service with three meters, and multiple lighting and safety features.

While the building has a history of parking-related complaints in the surrounding area, particularly regarding sidewalk parking, these are primarily street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property has been well-maintained, with all major violations and complaints having been resolved, including a 1995 incident regarding an illegal unit in the rear garage that was abated within three months. The most recent building improvement work, approved in 2024, suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property to current standards.
