655-657 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 655-657 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by the Bartel-ross Survivors Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2013 when major structural modifications were carried out in the garage/basement area, including beam installation, wall reinforcements, and concrete footing work, totaling $70,000. In 2012, comprehensive updates were completed throughout both units, including electrical system upgrades with a 200-amp service upgrade and new appliance installations, plumbing work involving kitchen and bathroom renovations, and wall patching following various repairs, with these improvements costing approximately $26,000.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to basic infrastructure, including roof replacement in 2012, though this permit is still listed as issued rather than completed. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about illegal parking, driveway blocking, and abandoned vehicles, particularly concentrated between 2020 and 2023. The most recent incidents include a driveway blocking complaint in September 2023 and three parking-related issues in July 2023, with at least one resulting in a citation.

While these parking enforcement matters are consistent in frequency, they primarily relate to street parking issues rather than building conditions or resident amenities. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no recorded complaints or violations regarding the building's structural integrity or basic systems. The most recent significant building improvements were completed approximately ten years ago, focusing on both units' infrastructure systems.
