767-769 16th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 767-769 16th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Banh Toan Phuoc. The building has a documented history of significant structural issues, particularly in the early 2000s, when multiple violations were recorded and required immediate attention.

Notably, in December 2003, there was a serious safety concern when the back porch collapsed, affecting both the first floor and neighboring unit, along with the loss of a fire escape ladder. This incident led to further complaints about water damage, rotting walls, and inoperable windows throughout the building.

In response to these issues, the owner undertook several repairs in 2004 and 2012, including work on the rear stairs, which had to be addressed multiple times due to dry rot ($3,000 repair in 2004), and the south wall siding, which saw repairs in both 2004 ($500) and 2012 ($1,800), with the latter involving replacement of redwood siding with hardy plank materials. Although these violations were officially abated between 2004 and 2010, and the building has had no recorded violations since 2010, the earlier issues suggest a historical pattern of maintenance challenges that prospective tenants should be aware of. The only other historical permit on record is for re-roofing work completed in 1990.
