600-602 39th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 600-602 39th Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Jeanne Kwong Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1924 construction. The most significant recent issue was a heating system failure in late 2014 that resulted in multiple housing code violations regarding inadequate heat provision, though these were eventually resolved in May 2016 through the replacement of the gas wall heater. The building has undergone several renovation projects over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2000, bathroom work in 1994, and reroofing in 2005.

More recent concerns include a 2024 complaint about unsafe paint removal from the building, though this violation is no longer active. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on or near the property between June and December 2024, as well as an open complaint regarding waste receptacles being left out continuously. The building's systems have required attention over the years, with documented work including electrical outlet repairs and plumbing improvements in the early 1990s, and various bathroom and kitchen updates.

While there have been a few fire alarm incidents recorded for the address, none resulted in injuries or actual fires. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep over the years, though the 2014-2016 heating system issues indicate some reactive maintenance was required during that period. The property's history of permit applications and completed work suggests ongoing maintenance and improvements have been made, though some permits from 2000-2001 for bathroom and kitchen work were marked as expired rather than completed.
