687-689 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 687-689 6th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by Stephen L. and Elizabeth Y.

Howe, the building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, between 2004 and 2008, major structural enhancements were completed including the replacement of garage doors, reinforcement of wood posts and beams with steel beams for improved vehicle accommodation, and comprehensive electrical upgrades including a 200-amp service installation with three overhead meters. The property also underwent bathroom renovations, adding a half-bathroom on the ground floor, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed in 2008.

Prior maintenance issues have been addressed, including the replacement of rotted rear stairs in 1994. The building's most recent recorded activity is a parking enforcement issue from April 2024 regarding a black Tacoma parked on the sidewalk, which resulted in a citation. Two older incidents from around 2014-2015 involved an abandoned Jeep Liberty and unauthorized postings, both of which were promptly resolved by authorities. The property appears to have been well-maintained over the years, with all significant building permits showing "Complete" status, though some older permits from 2004-2008 are recorded as "Expired."
