795 25th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 795 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Wong Anne Chun Yung, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1923. The most recent major work was completed in December 2023 with a $13,000 reroofing project. The building has experienced some concerning patterns in recent years, particularly regarding sewer issues, with multiple sewage back-up incidents reported in December 2024 (two occurrences on December 4th and 5th) and another on July 16, 2024. These recurring sewer problems may indicate an ongoing infrastructure challenge.

The property has a history of unpermitted work and maintenance issues, particularly evident in 2002-2006, when there were multiple complaints and violations, including concerns about smoke detectors, lead paint hazards, fire safety issues, and various unpermitted construction activities. A notable cluster of violations in 2002 was eventually abated by September 2002, including requirements for smoke detector installation, lead paint remediation, and fire safety improvements. More recently, there were complaints in 2014 regarding an unpermitted water heater installation, though this was marked as not active. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including kitchen renovations (such as the 2005 cabinet replacement in unit #4), electrical upgrades (2005 installation of lights and switches), and various repairs to different units over the years, including bathroom repairs in unit #2 in 2004.

Recent maintenance activity includes the most recent reroofing project from December 2023 and historical records indicate multiple roofing works have been performed, including a completed project in 1990 and termite damage repairs in 1989. The building underwent additional improvements in 2005-2006, including various kitchen and window-related works, though some of these were performed without proper permits, leading to complaints. The property management has generally addressed maintenance issues as they arise, as evidenced by the completion dates for various repairs and improvements. The most recent building permit work suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements, though the recurrence of sewer issues in 2024 indicates one area where infrastructure may require further attention.
