563-565 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 563-565 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by the James Hom Residual Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2012-2013, involving a comprehensive $99,000 remodel of kitchens and bathrooms, addition of two full bathrooms, bedroom remodels on the second and third floors, and the legalization of additional living spaces including storage, laundry, two bedrooms, and a half bath.

This major renovation was accompanied by a complete electrical upgrade including whole building rewiring, installation of 200-amp service with three meters, and the installation of rooftop solar panels in 2012. More recent work includes drywall repairs due to water damage in 2019, window replacements in 2014, and the addition of new flooring and baseboards.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to infrastructure with the installation of new furnaces on the ground floor during the 2012 renovation, and a plumbing upgrade in 2013 that included the remodeling of five bathrooms and two kitchens, along with the installation of washer/dryer units and new appliances. However, there have been two notable issues reported through 311 calls - a sewage backup incident in July 2019 that required municipal intervention and a parking enforcement issue in August 2021 that was unable to be verified by responding officers. The property's permit history suggests regular updates and maintenance, with the most recent significant work being the 2019 water damage repairs, indicating active management of the building's upkeep.
