682-696 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 9-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 682-696 20th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Angela Owyang, has undergone several significant modifications and improvements since its construction in 1922. Most recently, in 2022, permits were filed for the addition of three ADU units at the ground floor in accordance with local ADU programs, though the current status remains under review.

The building completed its required soft-story retrofit in 2017, achieving Tier 3 compliance and receiving the appropriate Certificate of Final Completion, which involved a $90,000 upgrade to meet seismic safety standards. The property has undergone substantial interior improvements, including a comprehensive interior remodel in 2017 that updated kitchens and bathrooms across multiple units, added new laundry facilities, and included associated electrical and plumbing upgrades (costing $50,000 and $90,000 respectively). Historical records show earlier maintenance work including reroofing in 2014 (cost: $9,880), stair repairs in 2006, and furnace installation in 1994.

The building has had several routine inspections and resolved various compliance issues through the years, including addressing fire safety concerns, security requirements, and plumbing/electrical violations. Noteworthy incidents include a brief gas odor issue in 2006, which was promptly investigated and resolved, and multiple 311 calls regarding parking enforcement and street cleaning issues in 2024. Recent fire safety inspections in March 2023 were found to have "No Merit" regarding claims of blocked exits and extinguisher issues, indicating that current building safety systems are functioning properly.
