474-476 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 474-476 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915, currently owned by Frank Buffum and Kath Gehlken. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work being a bathroom remodel completed in 2018 costing $25,000, which included new fixtures, tiles, and ceiling repairs, along with associated electrical work and plumbing updates.

Prior improvements include reroofing projects in 2011 ($20,800) and 1993 (now expired), and major exterior work in 2006 ($50,000) involving stucco removal, dry rot repairs, and window replacements to match historic specifications. The building experienced notable maintenance issues in December 2002, when multiple housing code violations were documented including inadequate heating, damaged walls, plumbing problems, and lead paint concerns, all of which were resolved by January 2003.

While there have been some sidewalk maintenance concerns reported through 311 calls in 2012 and 2014, these were either completed or found to be not applicable upon inspection. More recent disturbances include a 2021 illegal posting incident and a 2010 graffiti case, both of which were resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the owners, with no active violations or complaints on record since 2003.
