838 38th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121
This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 838 38th Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925 and currently owned by Vincent and Lily Woo. The building's permit history is minimal, with records showing a sewer repair and a street space/sidewalk permit issued in October 2008, though the modest cost of $1.00 for the latter requires clarification.
The property has generated several municipal service requests over the past decade, with the most recent occurring in 2023. Notable recent incidents include a mechanical equipment noise complaint in January 2023 (which required no action), and a currently open case from February 2022 regarding damaged property. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced various local issues, particularly related to recreational infrastructure, with two park-related structural maintenance requests in 2022 (referred to Capital Review) and 2016, as well as a park patrol request in 2017.
Other neighborhood concerns have included an abandoned vehicle complaint in March 2022 (determined to have no merit), illegal postings in September 2020, and some street cleaning needs in 2016. The earliest documented infrastructure issue was a curb defect reported in January 2015, which was subsequently resolved. While these incidents provide a glimpse into the building's environment, they mostly pertain to neighborhood conditions and city services rather than structural or safety concerns with the building itself.
