846-848 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 846-848 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-story, multi-family residential building consisting of two units, constructed in 1949 and currently owned by the Billy & Doris Wong Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant changes in the early 2000s, including the addition of two bedrooms and a bathroom in the basement in 2000 ($12,000), and there were kitchen remodeling projects in 2004-2005. A notable unit legalization effort took place in 2015, costing $60,000, to officially permit an additional first-floor unit comprising a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, in accordance with Unit Legalization Ordinance 43-14.

There have been some maintenance concerns over the years, with records showing water main replacement, dry rot repairs, and a furnace replacement completed in 1999. More recently, the building has experienced various external issues, though most are not directly related to the building's condition. These include multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways in 2023, several calls about abandoned vehicles in 2024, and two recreation equipment maintenance requests in 2024 that were resolved.

A complaint regarding an allegedly illegal kitchen in a rear garage unit was filed in 2013 and was addressed by July 2014. During 2020, there were two incidents involving complaints that police were unable to resolve due to access issues or location concerns. The most recent building-related incident was a structural maintenance request in September 2024, which was successfully resolved through appropriate channels.
