551 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 551 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1903, currently owned by Helen Tsoi Yee Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete electrical system upgrade in September 2023, where the main service was upgraded from 100a to 200a, and the installation of a new electrical meter panel.

In early 2021, the sewer lateral was replaced, and in July 2024, the property received a new roof costing $13,000. Historical records show previous improvements including window and kitchen cabinet replacements and repair of damaged back stairs in 1988, and an earlier roofing project from 1996. The property has experienced recurring issues with waste management compliance, particularly in January 2013 when multiple reports were filed regarding garbage cans being left out continuously, prompting multiple letters from the Department of Public Works.

More recently, there have been several parking-related incidents near the property, with three documented cases of vehicles parking on or obstructing sidewalks or driveways between 2023 and 2024, resulting in at least two citations being issued. The building has not had any recorded safety violations or major structural issues in recent years, and all recent permits indicate proper maintenance and upgrading of essential systems. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with particular attention to major systems like roofing, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure being addressed through appropriate permits and professional work.
