890 47th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

890 47th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Ajloun Enterprises LLC. The property has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over the past decade, with the most recent major update being concerning short-term rental activity in 2019, when an apparent illegal apartment with full kitchen and bathroom was reported and subsequently ceased operations. Between 2014 and 2016, the building underwent substantial improvements, including the replacement of all 39 windows, unit renovations (kitchens and bathrooms), electrical system upgrades, and compliance with various building codes.

However, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2016, when multiple violations were recorded related to interior surfaces, water damage, plumbing, electrical systems, and heating. These violations, while all marked as abated by late 2016, followed a pattern of problems including peeling paint, water damage, and various system malfunctions. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of necessary repairs and upgrades, including plumbing work (replacement of water heaters, gas lines, and various fixtures) and electrical improvements (service panel upgrade, kitchen circuitry modifications). A concerning cluster of complaints emerged in 2016, involving multiple units reporting issues with heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as interior surface problems.

More recently, in 2018, there were multiple complaints about unauthorized construction work, though these complaints are now inactive. The property has had several fire alarm-related incidents, most of which were determined to be false alarms or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. The building's 311 call history from 2024 shows typical urban maintenance issues such as street cleaning and light repairs, with all cases resolved. While the property has received numerous permits for improvements and repairs over the years, including a significant $30,000 renovation in 2016, the frequency and nature of maintenance issues suggest an ongoing need for careful oversight of building systems and resident amenities.
