447-449 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 447-449 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1921, currently owned by the Bernard & Kim Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, including a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen update in December 2018 costing over $60,000, followed by fireplace installations and major plumbing and electrical work in early 2019 involving new sub-panels and kitchen/laundry wiring. The most recent major maintenance was a $14,000 re-roofing project completed in 2018.

Notably, the building experienced multiple fire safety violations in 2005 and 2015 related to blocked exits and combustible materials, though these issues were subsequently corrected. A tenant buyout occurred in June 2018, involving two tenants and totaling $91,337.50. Recent records from 2020 through 2024 indicate ongoing issues with driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued, particularly through 2023.

The property has been subject to routine housing inspections, with the most recent complaint in 2010 being resolved promptly. The building's maintenance record shows attention to various systems, including plumbing (with multiple permits for rough plumbing work in 2019) and electrical systems, transitioning to modern utilities and comfort systems. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including stair repairs in 2002, window installations in 1998 (though these permits were cancelled), and various updates to comply with building codes. The property appears to have maintained regular upkeep in recent years, with prompt responses to housing inspections and violations, though the pattern of driveway blocking incidents suggests a recurring issue in the immediate vicinity.
