567 18th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 567 18th Avenue, owned by Watanabe Family Trust, has a documented history spanning several decades. Built in 1926 in the Central Richmond neighborhood, the property has undergone multiple significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges. Recent improvements include a sewer lateral replacement completed in 2017, street space permit in 2019, and ongoing pavement defect issues reported in 2024.

The building experienced notable structural work in the early 1990s, including foundation replacement in 1994 and fire damage repairs in 1992. More recent maintenance included reroofing in 2013 and termite-related framing repairs in 2012. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections, particularly in 2002, which revealed multiple violations that were subsequently addressed by December 2002. These included plumbing issues, fire safety concerns (such as fire extinguisher maintenance and fire proofing repairs), security requirements, and concerns about lead-based paint.

Since then, compliance issues have been minimal. Recent maintenance records show attention to infrastructure, including electrical system upgrades (fusebox removal and circuit relocation in 2012), while the building has experienced occasional plumbing challenges, with a sewage backup incident in 2021 and flooding issues documented in 2020. The most recent environmental health complaint was filed in September 2023, though the details and resolution are not specified. The property has maintained regular compliance with necessary inspections and repairs, though open cases regarding pavement defects (2024) and a recent environmental health complaint warrant attention to ongoing maintenance needs.
