555 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 555 2nd Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1903 and currently owned by Alice Gee Chan Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in late 2024, a major renovation is planned involving kitchen remodeling, adding a new half bathroom, and structural modifications including the removal of a load-bearing wall with new posts and beams (permit filed but not yet completed).

Additional recent improvements include the installation of new gas lines (completed August 2024), replacement of sewer lateral lines (completed January 2018), and replacement of three non-street-facing vinyl windows (completed March 2016). The building has a concerning historical record of rodent issues, with two rat infestation complaints filed in July 2009, though these were promptly addressed within one week. The property's infrastructure maintenance appears to be actively managed, as evidenced by the completed permits for sewer lateral replacement and recent plumbing work.

The area around the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including sidewalk defects (2013), garbage collection concerns (2013), and several parking-related incidents. Recent 311 calls (2022-2023) have primarily involved street cleaning and abandoned vehicle services, which are external to the building's direct management. While the building has faced some environmental challenges in the past, particularly in 2008 with reports of waste on the street, these appear to have been addressed through standard municipal procedures. The property's maintenance record shows regular updates and improvements to key systems, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep despite the historical pest control issues.
