469-473 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Wickum Family Trust owns this three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located at 469-473 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1922, the property has undergone several significant renovations and faced some regulatory challenges over recent years. The most recent major work, completed in 2023, involved revisions to a previously permitted exterior steel staircase, replacing it with wooden stairs and landing, along with electrical work for new sun porch electrical and concrete encased electrode provisions.

In 2022, substantial improvements were made, including the addition of new habitable space at the first floor level, rear balcony, and modified window/door openings, along with the installation of two high-efficiency water heaters. Prior to these improvements, the property experienced notable violations in 2016 regarding an unpermitted roof deck installation, which was subsequently addressed through proper permitting and construction modifications completed in 2017, including new fire-rated parapets and glass guardrails. The building has had regular maintenance issues typical of its age, including deck repairs in 2018 to address rotted parts, and several plumbing and heating system upgrades in 2021-2022, including furnace replacements and complete repiping of existing kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Recent concerns in the vicinity include recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property (most recently reported in late 2024), though these have typically been resolved by city services. A routine housing inspection was assigned in 2019, which remains active. The property underwent a tenant buyout in October 2016, involving four tenants with a total payout of $39,597. The building's maintenance and improvement records show regular upkeep and response to violations, with most recent work focusing on exterior modifications and infrastructure improvements.
