474 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 474 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Edward Brian and Julie A Chan. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel ($36,800), along with related plumbing and electrical work.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, particularly regarding stair safety, with documented repairs to front and rear stairs in 2011 following a violation notice related to deteriorated conditions. This stair repair work, which cost $15,000, was completed in December 2011 after an initial complaint about collapsed rear stairs in May 2011. Earlier maintenance included porch and stair repairs in 1999 and reroofing in 1988.

More recent history of the property shows some maintenance challenges, with a 2020 complaint about unmaintained conditions including trash containers and weeds, though this complaint is no longer active. The building has experienced several issues with parking enforcement in the surrounding area, particularly regarding vehicles blocking the driveway and parking on the sidewalk, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2024. While there was one fire complaint in 2011 regarding blocked exits, it was found to have "no merit." The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the 2011 violations, as evidenced by the successful completion of required repairs and subsequent improvements.
