847-849 33rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 847-849 33rd Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district. Built in 1923 and currently owned by Wade Chow, this flats/duplex-style building has undergone several significant modifications and faced some regulatory challenges throughout its history.

In 2002-2003, the building underwent substantial renovations including the addition of bedrooms, bathrooms, and a game room on the ground floor, along with kitchen and bathroom remodeling on the upper floor, with a total renovation cost of $35,000. This period also saw the correction of the dwelling unit count from one to two units, following violations in 2002 regarding unauthorized construction of an in-law unit on the rear ground floor, which were ultimately resolved by September 2002. Earlier improvements included concrete work on the front porch in 1997, and issues related to parking and sidewalk access have been recurring themes around the property, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and parking spaces from 2017 to 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to various structural elements, including bathroom removals in 2002 to comply with notices of violation, although some records indicate expired permits for reroofing work from 2000. A sidewalk defect was reported in 2017 regarding a collapsed condition, though subsequent inspections in 2018 found no actionable defects. The property appears to be regularly maintained, with no recent building code violations or complaints on record since 2002, and recent parking-related issues primarily involving street parking enforcement rather than building safety concerns.
