788-790 18th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The building at 788-790 18th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1919, currently owned by Michael Wade Jr. Hobb. The property underwent a significant transformation in 2006-2007, when major structural modifications were completed to convert the existing single-family dwelling into two separate units, including the installation of a new kitchen and living room configuration on the ground floor, along with garage modifications to accommodate parking for two vehicles.

These improvements were accompanied by comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, including a 200-amp service upgrade and kitchen work, installation of new water pipes, and various bathroom fixtures. The building has received regular maintenance and updates over the years, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2020 with the replacement of the water heater. Prior improvements included bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2014, during which bathroom tiling, kitchen cabinet replacement, and electrical upgrades were completed.

The property has maintained a record of general upkeep, including two re-roofing projects in 1989 and 1994, though some earlier permits from the 1980s and 1990s have since expired. The area has experienced typical urban challenges as reflected in 311 calls, including occasional parking issues, graffiti incidents (resolved without response in 2020 and 2012), and other neighborhood maintenance concerns, though these external factors do not necessarily impact the building's internal conditions or management. The property's permit history suggests consistent investment in maintenance and improvements over the years, with particular attention to infrastructure upgrades in recent decades.
