616-618 8th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 616-618 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by the Foon & May Lee Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a $10,000 fiber cement siding replacement at the rear of the building completed in September 2022.

In 2012, the building underwent a notable interior renovation that included converting a storage room into an entertainment room with a half bathroom on the first floor, a project that involved both plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $12,000. Older improvements include a 1989 siding replacement project (lower front brick wall), 1985 window installations, and exterior maintenance work in 2005-2010 including sidewalk repairs. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with several 311 calls between 2018-2024 mostly related to street cleaning matters and parking violations.

The most recent incidents include garbage and debris issues in June 2024 and multiple reports of sidewalk parking between 2021-2024, though officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property has also experienced periodic sidewalk maintenance needs, as evidenced by the multiple street cleaning calls in 2018-2024, including reports of hazardous materials, graffiti, and illegal postings, though in most cases these issues were promptly resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements, particularly in recent years, though the frequency of external maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention may be required for these matters.
