691-693 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 691-693 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Lily Lee and James R. Surgenor. The building has undergone several significant improvements and repairs over its lifespan, with the most recent permits being primarily related to street space usage (2016).

Notable renovations occurred in 2005-2006, including a substantial kitchen and bathroom remodeling project ($20,000) with electrical upgrades, and earlier work in 2000 involved comprehensive electrical and plumbing updates along with room additions to the ground floor. There was a notable complaint filed in July 2000 regarding disruption of essential services (heat, electricity, water) during remodeling work, though this was eventually abated by late August 2000. In recent months (October 2024 - January 2025), there has been a significant pattern of parking enforcement issues near the property, with multiple citations issued for blocking driveways and illegal parking.

There were also two reported instances of street light outages in December 2024. While these issues relate primarily to the street environment rather than the building itself, they indicate ongoing challenges with parking management in the immediate vicinity. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements over the years, with particular attention paid to addressing termite damage and updating various systems, though there is one instance of an electrical permit expiring in 2006 which required a subsequent final inspection in 2007.
