731-733 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 731-733 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Yuk Lam & Fung Chi Lam Youn, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, in late 2021, the building sustained damage from a car accident that required emergency repairs to the front façade, including stucco replacement and garage door repairs, costing $10,000. Recent improvements to Unit B in 2020 included comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and electrical upgrades, with work completed in accordance with proper permits.

The building has experienced periodic issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for driveway blocking in recent years, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Historical records show several routine inspections and some past concerns requiring attention, including a 2015 hoarding complaint that was referred to another agency and various electrical and smoke detector violations in 2002 that were abated. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since then, with recent improvements including the installation of new utilities such as a gas heater (2018) and comprehensive electrical work (2020).

Earlier records from the 1980s document efforts to legalize a basement storage room, and the building underwent reroofing in 1992. While there have been several 311 calls regarding abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (2022-2023), these are related to street parking issues rather than building conditions or management. The most recent major work was the 2021 collision damage repair, which was properly addressed through appropriate permits and inspections.
