850-852 26th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 850-852 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1927, currently owned by Vlaho & Yvonne K Vukasin Lv. The property underwent significant improvements between 2019 and 2021, most notably the legalization of an additional dwelling unit on the first floor, which included comprehensive safety upgrades such as a new fire sprinkler system with 22 heads, and a sprinkler monitoring system costing over $16,000 combined.

The building's infrastructure received substantial modernization, including the installation of a Navien tankless water heater, replacement of the furnace with a high-efficiency unit, and extensive gas line upgrades. The property has experienced ongoing parking-related issues, particularly since late 2021, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking resulting in citations being issued to offending vehicles throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024.

There was one recorded incident of sidewalk parking (July 2022) and six documented cases of driveway blocking in 2023-2024, with several of these cases resulting in successful citations. While the building's safety infrastructure has been substantially improved, there was one minor incident reported involving a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2021, which did not result in any actual carbon monoxide presence or civilian injuries. The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the successful completion of multiple inspections and permit requirements related to the unit legalization and corresponding safety system installations, including electrical system upgrades to meet modern safety standards.
