896-898 24th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 896-898 24th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Ivan Kwok Hung Leung and Anni Tak Yee. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its history. Most recently, in 2019, substantial renovation work was proposed (though listed as "filed" rather than completed) with an estimated cost of $850,000, focusing on converting unit #1 from 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms to 4 bedrooms/5 bathrooms and making various layout changes, including the addition of a roof deck and study in unit #2.

The property experienced notable issues in 2018 with complaints about windows not closing, back stairway problems, and mold, though these complaints were eventually marked as not active. In 2007, multiple building violations were documented regarding stairs, window glazing, weatherproofing, and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by June 2009. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, including repairs to stucco work (completed in 2008) and street/sidewalk repairs in 2009.

Historical permits also indicate various interior renovations, including attempts at vertical addition and interior remodeling in 2008. Recent activity on the property has included multiple 311 calls between 2022-2025, primarily relating to external issues such as graffiti, tree damage, and parking concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The most recent permitted works suggest an effort to improve the building's amenities and living space, though the substantial nature of these proposed changes raises questions about their current status given their "filed" permit status without subsequent completion records.
