740 37th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 740 37th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Huey Helen and constructed in 1963. The building's most significant recent history centers around a 2006-2007 violation case that identified unauthorized modifications to the ground floor, which included a full bathroom and kitchen installation not covered by valid permits.

This situation raised several safety concerns, including improper occupancy, unapproved wiring and plumbing, and missing required smoke detectors. The building underwent remediation to address these violations, with work completed in 2007 that included converting the unauthorized kitchen back to a sitting room, removing unauthorized plumbing fixtures, and performing associated electrical work, all of which were documented through appropriate permits totaling approximately $5,000 in work.

Earlier building history includes a 1993 incident involving fire damage that required cleanup, and an earlier partition wall and bathroom installation, as well as a reroofing project from 1996, though the latter permit expired. The most recent activity on record is a 2021 DPW street cleaning service call related to loose garbage on the property, which was resolved.
