462 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 462 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2023, Unit #1 received an interior remodel including kitchen and bathroom renovations, with associated plumbing and electrical work costing $20,000. The building completed its seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft-story project, with work including foundation and structural upgrades, and installed a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the first floor in 2017.

Between 2017-2023, multiple units (1, 2, and 5) have received kitchen and bathroom remodels, and important infrastructure improvements have been made including electrical panel upgrades, solar power system installation, and new furnace replacements. The building has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, with notable violations in 2000 related to fire safety systems and egress obstructations, all of which were abated by March 2001. Concerns were raised in 2017 about halted seismic work, but this was subsequently completed.

Two significant tenant buyouts occurred in late 2016 and early 2017, totaling $100,000 for four tenants, and there have been regular maintenance and safety system upgrades including smoke detector installations and electrical system improvements. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes through multiple permit applications and completed necessary work, though there were some periods of construction pauses and permit-related issues as noted in complaints. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external matters like parking and street cleaning.
