747-749 18th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 747-749 18th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by James & Mary L.S. Tse Revocable Trust and constructed in 1923. This historically significant building has undergone several major renovations, with the most notable being the 2016-2017 legalization of a third unit (Unit No.

3) on the ground floor, which included comprehensive work to add two bedrooms, one bathroom, living and dining rooms, and a kitchen/laundry facilities, along with a complete fire sprinkler system installation costing $105,000. The building's fire safety systems have received particular attention, with recent upgrades including a new sprinkler monitoring system installed in 2022 ($4,000) and the legalization of sprinkler systems for first-floor units in 2020 ($19,075). The property has seen substantial interior improvements over the years, including extensive remodeling work in 2006-2007 involving kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades (200-amp service installation with 3 meter sockets), and the replacement of drywall and insulation in Unit 747.

Earlier maintenance records show basic upkeep such as reroofing (1998) and yard stairway repairs (1994). The building's recent history has been relatively quiet in terms of major incidents, though there has been one open case regarding illegal postings from November 2024. Prior 311 calls from 2019 and 2018 primarily related to street cleaning and damaged property issues, while a 2014 report concerned an abandoned scooter that was resolved the following day. The property's extensive permit history and recent upgrading of safety systems suggest proactive management of the building's infrastructure and compliance with current regulations.
