827-829 37th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 827-829 37th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Paul Totterdell and constructed in 1945. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a comprehensive renovation completed in September 2023 that included kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements (11 total), re-sheetrock work, and electrical rewiring throughout both units, with a reported cost of $78,000.

This renovation followed a tenant buyout process in May 2023, during which two tenants received $30,000 to vacate the units. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a sewer line replacement in 2013, though recent events have raised concerns about sanitation systems. In November 2024, there were multiple reports of sewage back-up discharges from sewer vents, which were addressed by PUC Sewer Operations.

The property also had a balcony repair completed in 1985 and window installations in 1984. A number of parking enforcement issues have been documented in 2024, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking near the property. While the recent renovation indicates active property maintenance, the building's history shows periods of significant upgrade work, with the most recent major improvements occurring nearly 80 years after its original construction.
