This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 774-776 15th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1924 and is currently owned by Martin West & Kristin Marie. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the years.

Most notably, in 2009, the building was cited for housing code violations regarding an unpermitted dwelling unit in the basement and unauthorized modifications to a space behind the garage, which included a full bathroom installation. These violations were subsequently resolved through proper permitting and compliance actions, including the removal of an illegal bathtub. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements in recent years, with the most recent being the installation of a roof-mounted solar PV system in July 2023, featuring 14 modules with a total capacity of 5.4 kW.

Previous solar installations were completed in 2019 (3.63 kW system) and a significant electrical service upgrade to 200 amps was performed in 2002. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple sewer backup incidents reported through 311 calls between 2011-2019, and a concerning plumbing complaint from 2000 regarding water billing anomalies and brown water issues, which remains active. The building's maintenance history also includes exterior improvements, such as the installation of Alcoa siding in 1986, and various permits for parking-related modifications and repairs over the years.
