The Chao Family Trust owns this 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 1395-1399 17th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1948, the property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete bathroom and kitchen renovation in 2003 costing $35,000, a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2004, and multiple roofing projects in 1989 and 2011.

Most recently, in November 2023, the building sustained minor damage to the stucco facade and framing at the garage area due to a vehicle-related incident, though repairs were promptly completed with a $5,500 permit. The building had several violations in 2001 that were all abated by August 2001, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstruction, and gas shutoff tools, indicating past concerns with safety systems.

A routine housing inspection occurred in 2011 with no reported issues. Recent maintenance records show regular attention to building upkeep, including the installation of power door operators and kick plates as part of accessibility improvements in 2022. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges, with multiple 311 calls recorded between 2022-2025 relating to street cleaning, graffiti, and parking issues, though these are exterior to the building itself.
