710 46th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 710 46th Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1947, currently owned by Bypass Trust. The property is undergoing significant modifications, as evidenced by an issued building permit from October 2024 that authorized the conversion of existing family rooms on both the second and third floors into new bedrooms, bringing the total proposed bedroom count to six with an estimated cost of $8,000.

However, recent building complaints filed in December 2024 indicate several concerning issues related to these ongoing renovations. The complaints, which remain active as of their last observation date (March 2024), document multiple code compliance violations, including the installation of a furnace or wall heater, electrical work, and ducting for heating systems performed without the necessary permits.

There are also specific concerns about the electrical wiring needs for smoke detector hardwiring in the newly created bedrooms, as well as requirements for proper mechanical permits related to heating and ducting modifications. These violations could potentially impact resident safety and comfort, particularly regarding heating and fire safety systems.
