796 23rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 796 23rd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond district is a 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Patrick Vella. The building has undergone some significant maintenance in recent years, most notably receiving a substantial $22,850 reroofing project in 2022.

The building's recent history shows a series of maintenance and enforcement issues primarily related to the surrounding public space rather than the building structure itself. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple reports of graffiti, with four separate incidents reported and resolved by the Golden Gate Park (GGP) department. The area experienced several parking enforcement issues, including vehicles blocking driveways and sidewalk parking, with at least one citation issued during this period.

The building has had four recorded fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant property damage - including a contained cooking fire, a water-related issue, and two incidents involving a motor vehicle accident and structural concerns. A review of 311 calls shows a mix of resolved issues, including garbage and debris complaints and various structural maintenance reports, though these appear to be more related to the public spaces than the building itself. The property underwent some infrastructure upgrades during 2019 when a street space permit was issued, and while the recent history shows multiple environmental and maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, there are no documented complaints or incidents directly related to the building's structural integrity or safety systems since the 2022 reroofing project.
