745 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The Lai Family Trust owns this two-unit residential building located at 745 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1921 as a single-family dwelling, the property underwent significant transformations between 1999-2004, including a major renovation in 2004 that converted it to a duplex, followed by various interior modifications in 2006-2007 to improve living spaces and amenities. Recent building maintenance has focused on addressing safety concerns, with completed repairs to exterior rear stairs in December 2023 and compliance work in April 2024.

In July 2024, electrical safety improvements were made, including the installation of combined carbon monoxide and smoke detectors and various electrical system upgrades. The building's history includes three active housing complaints from 1998 regarding an allegedly illegal basement unit, parking issues, and a neighbor's fence problem, all of which were filed within days of each other. While these complaints are labeled as "Active," the status does not necessarily reflect current conditions.

The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues between 2018-2024, with multiple citations and towings for blocked driveways and sidewalk parking. In 2023-2024, there have been two documented instances of tree-related issues affecting the property and surrounding sidewalk areas. The building underwent substantial electrical system improvements in 2006, including complete rewiring for both units and a 200-amp service upgrade, suggesting significant historical investment in modernization and safety upgrades. Recent maintenance suggests ongoing attention to building safety and compliance requirements, though the presence of active housing complaints from 1998 warrants noting.
