787 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 787 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Alex & Yelena Fisherman Rev. The building's permit history shows significant modifications were made in the late 1980s, including a successful conversion from a single-family residence to a two-unit building completed in 1988, though an attempt to enlarge the garage entrance and legalize a back unit in March 1988 was ultimately cancelled.

Earlier improvements from 1987 included kitchen remodeling, fixture changes, and window replacements, as well as a horizontal extension and basement family room addition. Recent issues at the property have primarily involved parking enforcement, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, including seven documented cases, several resulting in citations.

The building has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewer-related odor issue in August 2023 and garbage and debris concerns in June 2024. Two notable fire complaints were recorded in 2008 (general hazardous materials), and in 2010 (weeds and grass), both of which were resolved. The property has maintained its two-unit configuration since the 1988 conversion, and recent complaints primarily center around parking enforcement rather than building safety or maintenance issues.
