638-640 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 638-640 Funston Avenue, owned by Howard W. and Helen S. Lee, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1948 in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep over the years, with significant work including a $9,000 reroofing project completed in 2007, window replacements in 2001, and a complete electrical service upgrade to underground (UG) in 2003. Earlier maintenance included dryrot repair to the building's front in 1992, though an earlier roofing permit from the same year expired without completion. The property's most pressing recent concern was a sewage back-up discharge from the side sewer vent in September 2024, which was promptly resolved by the PUC - Sewer Operations team.

While the building itself has received proper attention to major systems, the surrounding area has experienced various infrastructure challenges, particularly with sidewalks, as evidenced by multiple reports in 2019 and 2021 regarding lifted sidewalks likely caused by tree roots. There have been recurring issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with multiple reports between 2019 and 2023, though most were resolved promptly upon inspection. Other minor incidents in the area included illegal postings (2021), parking enforcement matters (2020), and occasional garbage issues in nearby park areas (2019). The building's documented history shows regular maintenance of major systems, though attention to exterior elements like the sidewalk has been required intermittently over the years.
