737-739 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 737-739 5th Avenue property, located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Merrill Leilani and containing two units. The building's maintenance history shows recent significant improvements, including a complete electrical system upgrade in April 2023 and a new 30-year shingle roof installation in February 2023, both indicating active maintenance of building systems. The property has undergone several major renovations over the years, including a bathroom installation and laundry room modification in 2019, kitchen remodeling and electrical upgrades in 1992, and deck construction in 1996.

However, the building has experienced some concerning issues, including a building complaint in April 2022 regarding an allegedly illegal unit in the attic and a 2014 complaint about mold in multiple living areas. Two gas-related incidents were recorded, though without civilian injuries reported. The property's plumbing systems have received attention, with a gas line installation permit issued in 2010, and most recently, electrical upgrades in 2023.

Multiple parking-related incidents have been documented in the area, particularly regarding vehicles parking on the sidewalk, with several citations issued between 2018-2021. A public health complaint was filed in January 2025 and remains open, warranting attention. While the building has had periods requiring maintenance and showing some habitability concerns, recent improvements to major systems suggest active management of the property. The building's historical records indicate both routine maintenance and occasional emergency repairs, such as the fire-damaged roof removal and subsequent replacement in 1985, though no serious fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded.
