851-853 29th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 851-853 29th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1935, the building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work being window and door replacements in 2012 (permitted cost: $2,000) and a completed vinyl siding installation in 2000 (cost: $21,000).

Earlier renovations included the addition of a family room and half bath on the ground floor in 1998-1999, although this permit eventually expired. A concerning incident was reported in December 2011 when complaints were filed regarding an alleged illegal third unit in the building, though these complaints were marked as "Not Active" within a week. Recent records from 2020 through 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance issues primarily related to trees in the vicinity, with multiple reports of overgrown trees and one instance of a possibly damaged tree in December 2024.

The property has experienced some parking-related challenges, with three separate reports of driveway blocking between 2016 and 2023, though enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles in each instance. The building's exterior maintenance appears reasonably maintained, with records showing past roofing work (1993) and sidewalk repair permits. The property's permit history suggests regular upkeep, though the 2011 complaints about an unauthorized unit indicate there may have been at least one period of unauthorized modifications to the building.
