701 43rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 701 43rd Avenue is a one-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Francis Family Trust. Built in 1936, this two-unit building underwent significant modifications between 2007-2013, including the legalization of a second dwelling unit on the ground floor, which involved substantial renovations to add a new kitchen and bathroom ($40,000).

During this period, multiple permits were issued for various improvements, including electrical upgrades (2007-2012) with the installation of a new 200-amp meter main electric panel, plumbing work, and window replacements. A notable incident occurred in February 2012 when a car damaged the building's corner, affecting the front and garage areas and the main electrical panel, though this was subsequently addressed and abated by February 2013. More recent maintenance includes the November 2023 installation of a retrofit wood window on the street-facing side.

The building has had several structural maintenance issues over the years, including stucco repairs in response to complaints in 2012 and earlier in 2008, though these appear to have been properly addressed. Recent activity in the vicinity (2024-2025) primarily consists of street cleaning and garbage-related incidents, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with city requirements, including securing necessary off-street parking variances during the unit legalization process, which allowed for continued use of the existing garage space for one vehicle.
